About Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

Overview

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport sits roughly 27 kilometers northwest of downtown Dallas, straddling the boundary between Dallas and Tarrant counties in north Texas. It serves as the primary international gateway for the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and ranks among the busiest airports in the world by both passenger traffic and aircraft movements. The airport opened in 1974, replacing the older Greater Southwest International and Dallas Love Field as the region's main commercial hub.

Terminals & runways

The airport operates five terminals, labeled A, B, C, D, and E, arranged in a distinctive semicircular layout connected by the Skylink automated people mover. Terminal D primarily handles international arrivals and departures, while the others are largely domestic. Seven runways, oriented in parallel north–south configurations with two diagonal crosswind strips, support continuous 24-hour operations. Ongoing expansion projects include a planned sixth terminal, Terminal F.
