Tampa International Airport’s Express Curbsides: Designing a Seamless Passenger Journey | HNTB

At Tampa International Airport (TPA), convenience is built into the entire experience. The airport’s Express Curbsides, the first of its kind in the United States, provide dedicated drop-off and pick-up points for travelers with carry-on luggage only, allowing them to bypass ticket counters and baggage claim. Developed through an early and trusted partnership between Tampa International Airport and HNTB, the Express Curbsides reimagine travel as a seamless experience — reducing congestion, improving flow and supporting TPA’s future growth. In this video, Andrés Chacón, HNTB aviation group director and project manager for the Express Curbsides Program, walks viewers through the passenger experience from curb to terminal, sharing how design and planning decisions — including wayfinding, spatial clarity, sense of place and integrated art — help create a journey that feels intuitive, efficient and distinctly Tampa.
