Getting between the Main Terminal and airsides

Each airside has its own automated shuttle connection to the Main Terminal, allowing passengers to travel between the central building and the departure gate areas without lengthy outdoor walks.
Security checkpoints are located at the individual airsides, before passengers enter their respective gate areas. Travelers should check which airside serves their flight before boarding the appropriate shuttle.
The secure departure areas of the different airsides are not directly connected. Passengers transferring between airsides generally need to return to the Main Terminal and pass through security screening again.
Distinctive featureTampa International Airport is known for its distinctive landside/airside design, featuring a central terminal connected to separate gate complexes by automated people movers. These shuttles are separate from the SkyConnect system, which serves the Rental Car Center and Economy Parking facilities.
