Dallas, Texas
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is
the primary international airport serving
the region and one of the highest capacity
airports in the country – with five separate
terminal buildings and the ability,
at times, to use six of its seven
runways simultaneously.
All major US carriers service DFW, and
between them offer non-stop service to a
wide range of destinations in North America
and Latin America, seven cities in Europe
and the Middle East, five cities in Asia, and
Sydney, Australia. A selection of domestic and
international flag carriers serve Dallas from
their hubs, with extensive point-to-point
service from many cities in Mexico. It is
also the headquarters and largest hub
for American Airlines.
An ongoing program to renovate and
improve the airport’s terminals is expected to
be completed in 2018, including a USD $400
million upgrade of airport support facilities,
improved baggage handling systems, and
more employee parking. A ten-year project to
improve older infrastructure like sewer lines,
water lines, bridges, and roadways on airport
property is also underway.
Two main public transit services link to
downtown: a light rail system (50-minute travel
