About This Airport

Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW, ICAO KDFW) spans 69 square kilometres, larger than Manhattan, and ranks as the United States' second-largest airport after Denver. As American Airlines' largest hub, it handles close to 90 million passengers a year across seven runways, making it one of the busiest airports on the planet. On the freight side, roughly 800,000 tonnes a year place DFW among America's leading cargo airports, served by international freighter operators including Korean Air Cargo, Cathay and Qatar Airways Cargo alongside FedEx, UPS and the vast belly network of American's hub. From September 2026, Air General takes over as Finnair Cargo's new ground handling partner at DFW, while specialist AvAir is building a roughly 45,000-square-foot warehouse in nearby Grapevine to support American, United, Delta, Lufthansa and Emirates and cut aircraft turnaround times. Security screening for cargo relies on Global K9's certified canine teams, which inspect more than 250,000 tonnes of freight annually. Interstates 20, 30, 35 and 45 fan out from the Metroplex, and BNSF and Union Pacific run major intermodal terminals in the region. North Texas has become one of the country's hottest distribution markets. Customs, handling and perishables capacity are built for further growth, and the airport markets itself as the uncongested inland alternative to coastal gateways.
