Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (IATA: DFW , ICAO: KDFW , FAA LID: DFW ) is the airport major international serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area in the US state of Texas. It is the largest hub for American Airlines, which is stationed near the airport. 2017 is a record year for DFW, as the airport serves 67,092,194 passengers.
It is the fourth busiest airport in the world with twelve of the world's busiest airplanes and airports by passenger traffic by 2017. It is the busiest airport in the state of Texas by both passenger enplanements and by airplane movement (takeoff and landing). This is the busiest ninth international gateway in the United States and second busiest in Texas. With nearly 900 flights daily, American Airlines in DFW is the second largest airline hub in the world and the United States, behind the Delta's Atlanta hub.
At 17,207 acres (6,963 hectares: 27 square miles), DFW is bigger than Manhattan island, and is the second largest airport by land area in the United States, after Denver International Airport.
Located approximately midway between the major cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, DFW spills across parts of Dallas and Tarrant, and includes parts of Irving, Euless, Grapevine, and Coppell cities. It has its own postcode postal code and the US Postal Service ("DFW Airport, TX") designation, as well as its own police, fire protection and emergency medical services. Airport board members are designated by the "owner city" of Dallas and Fort Worth, with unselected members selected from four neighboring cities at the airport in turn.
As of June 2018, DFW Airport has services to 233 destinations, including 57 international destinations and 176 domestic in the US. In more than 200 destinations, DFW joins a small group of airports around the world with that distinction.

History
Planning
In early 1927, before the area had an airport, Dallas proposed the airport along with Fort Worth. Fort Worth refused the offer and thus each city opened its own airport, Love Field and Meacham Field, each of which had a scheduled flight service.
In 1940, the Civil Aviation Administration allocated $ 1.9 million for the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport. American Airlines and Braniff Airways reached an agreement with the city of Arlington to build the airport there, but the Dallas and Fort Worth governments disagreed over the construction and the project was abandoned in 1942. After World War II, Fort Worth annexed the site and expanded it to Amon Carter Field with the help of American Airlines. In 1953, Fort Worth shifted its commercial flight from Meacham Field to the new airport, 12 miles (19 km) away from Dallas Love Field. In 1960, Fort Worth bought Amon Carter Field and renamed it the West Southwest International Airport GSW in an effort to compete with Dallas airport, but GSW traffic continued to decline relative to Dallas Love Field. In the mid-1960s, Fort Worth earned 1% of Texas air traffic while Dallas gained 49%, which led to the virtual abandonment of GSW.
The joint airport proposal was reviewed in 1961 after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) refused to invest more money at separate Dallas and Fort Worth airports. Although the Fort Worth airport was finally abandoned, Dallas Love Field became congested and had no more space to expand. After an order from the federal government in 1964 that he would unilaterally select a site if cities could not reach an agreement, officials from both cities finally approved a location for a new regional airport located north of the abandoned GSW and almost equidistant from the two city centers. The land was bought by cities in 1966 and construction began in 1969.
Voters went to polling stations in cities across the Dallas/Ft Worth area to approve a new North Texas Regional Airport, named after the North Texas Commission playing a role at regional airports began to fruition. The North Texas Commission established the North Texas Airport Commission to oversee the planning and construction of the giant airport. Area Voters agree a new Northwest Regional airport and Airport referendum will become a reality.
Under the original 1967 design of the airport, DFW has a pier-shaped terminal that is perpendicular to the central highway. In 1968, the design was revised to provide semi-circular terminals, which serve to isolate the loading and unloading area of ​​the central highway, and to provide additional space for parking in the middle of each semicircle. The plan proposed thirteen such terminals, but only four were built at first.
Opening and operation
DFW held an open house and dedication ceremony on 20-23 September 1973, including the first concorde supersonic landings in the United States, an Air France plane en route from Caracas to Paris. Participants at the airport's dedication include former Texas Governor John Connally, Transport Secretary Claude Brinegar, US Senator Lloyd Bentsen and Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe. The airport opened for commercial services as Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport on January 13, 1974, at a cost of $ 700 million. The first flight that landed was American Airlines Flight 341 from New York, which had stopped in Memphis and Little Rock. The name change to Dallas/Fort Worth International did not happen until 1985.
When opened, DFW has four terminals, numbered 2W, 2E, 3E and 4E. During its first year of operation, the airport is serviced by American Airlines, Braniff International Airways, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Ozark Air Lines, Rio Airways and Texas International Airlines. The 1979 Wright Amendment banned long-haul flights to Love Field, making Southwest Airlines the only airline in Love Field and operating solely as an air carrier in Texas.
Braniff International Airways was the premier operator in DFW at the start of the airport year, operating hubs from Terminal 2W with international flights to South America and Mexico from 1974, London from 1978 and Europe and Asia from 1979, before stopping all operations in 1982. During Braniff's era hub, DFW is one of only four US airports that have scheduled Concorde services; Braniff started the scheduled Concorde service from Dallas to Washington from 1979 to 1980, using British Airways and Air France aircraft while being re-registered for Braniff while flying in the United States. British Airways then briefly flew Concorde to Dallas in 1988 as a replacement for the normally scheduled DC-10 service.
Following the deregulation of airlines, American Airlines (which has been one of the largest operators serving the Dallas/Fort Worth area for years) established its first hub in DFW on June 11, 1981. American finished moving its headquarters from Grand Prairie, Texas to a building in Fort Worth located at the site of the old Greater Southwest Airport, near DFW Airport on January 17, 1983; the airline commenced the leasing of facilities from the airport, which owns the facility. In 1984, the American hub occupied most of Terminal 3E and part of Terminal 2E. The American Hub grew to fill all 2E Terminals in 1991. American also started international long distance services from DFW, adding flights to London in 1982 and Tokyo in 1987.
Delta Air Lines also built a hub operation in DFW, which occupied most of the 4E Terminals until the 1990s. The Delta Hub culminated around 1991, when Delta had a 35% market share in DFW; part of which was halved in 2004, after many major routes were downgraded to more frequent regional jet services in 2003. Delta closed DFW's hub in 2004 in restructuring the airline to avoid bankruptcy, cutting its DFW operation to just 21 flights. day from over 250 and reusing the plane to the hubs in Cincinnati, Atlanta and Salt Lake City. Prior to closing, Delta had a 17.3% market share in DFW. After the closure of the Delta hub, DFW offered an incentive to Southwest Airlines to move its service to DFW from Love Field, but Southwest, as in the past, chose to stay on Love Field.
DFW has become a center for Braniff International Airways, Braniff 2, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines and Texas International Airlines.
In 1989, the airport authorities announced plans to rebuild the existing terminal and added two runways. After an environmental impact study was released the following year, the cities of Irving, Euless and Grapevine sued the airport for its expansion plans, a battle ultimately decided (by the airport) by the US Supreme Court in 1994. The seven runways opened in 1996. Four runway north- the main south (closest to the terminal) are all extended from 11,388 feet (3,471 m) to their current length of 13,400 feet (4,084 m). The first, 17R/35L, was extended in 1996 (at the same time a new runway was built) and the other three (17C/35C, 18L/36R and 18R/36L) were extended in 2005. DFW is now the only airport in the world with 4 serviceable runways over 4,000 meters (13,123Ã, ft).
Terminal D, built for international flights, and DFW Skylink, a modern two-person drive system, opened in 2005.
From 2004 to 2012, DFW is one of only two US Army "Person Help Points" that accept US troops returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to rest and recuperate. It ended on March 14, 2012 and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport became the only Personnel Assistance Point.
Airports Council International (ACI) named DFW Airport the best big airport with over 40 million passengers in North America for passenger satisfaction in 2016.

Terminal
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has five terminals and 171 gates. The airport is designed with expansions in mind and can theoretically accommodate up to thirteen terminals and 260 gates, although this expansion rate is unlikely to be achieved in the future. The first four terminals were designed by Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum and Brodsky, Hopf & amp; Adler.
The terminal in DFW is semicircular (except for the latest terminal, Terminal D, which is a "square U" shape) and is built around the north-south artery road of the airport center, Spur 97, also known as the "International Parkway". Until the late 1990s, they were designated by a number (2 north, 4 south) and a letter suffix ("E" for East, "W" for West). The system is then removed and the terminal is now given the letters from A to E. Terminals A, C, and E (from north to south) are on the east side of the airport, while Terminals B and D (from north to south) are on the west side.
DFW terminal is designed to minimize the distance between passenger and aircraft cars, and to reduce traffic around the terminal. The consequence of this layout is that connecting passengers has to travel a great distance between gates (to walk from one end of the semicircle concourse to another, one has to walk throughout the whole; there is no shortcut between the edges). Indigenous carrier trains (Airtrans APM, then American Airlines TrAAin) which opens with the famous airport are very slow (17 mph (27 km/h)), uni-directional (located only in the anticlockwise direction) and are located outside the safe area (thus requiring travelers to go through the security process again). Replaced by Skylink in April 2005, after serving about 250 million passengers. Skylink serves all five terminals at much higher speeds (up to 35 mph (56 km/h)), is bidirectional, and is located within a secure area.
DFW Airport tentatively completed the $ 2.7 billion "Terminal Reform and Recovery Program" (TRIP), which included the renovation of three of the original four terminals (A, B, and E). Project work began following the conclusion of the Super Bowl XLV in February 2011. Terminal A is the first terminal to undergo a renovation completed in January 2017 at a cost of about $ 1 billion. This was followed by the completion of Terminal E in August 2017 and Terminal B in December 2017. While Terminal C was originally part of a multibillion-dollar renovation, American Airlines in 2014 requested to delay terminal renovations. Currently the fate of Terminal C is uncertain with the possibility of building the needs of Terminal F and American Airlines for the gateway. The airport has also completed the renovation of Terminal D worth $ 2.8 million to accommodate the Airbus A380 double deck.
American Airlines and its regional affiliate, American Eagle, has a large presence in Dallas/Fort Worth. The world's largest carrier, by 2018, operates its largest hub in DFW. Both airlines operate in the five airport terminals.
Terminal A
Terminal A (originally called "Terminal 2E") is fully occupied by American Airlines for domestic flights and several international departures. Prior to the opening of Terminal D, Terminal A operates most of the American Airlines international flights at the airport.
The satellite terminal (formerly Satellite Terminal A2) near Terminal A is used because of gate restrictions. Passengers are taken to the satellite via a shuttle bus from the A6 gate. The A2 Satellite Terminal (A2A-A2N gate) was abandoned in 2005 when all American Eagle flights were consolidated to Terminals B and D. It now serves as a Corporate Flight terminal for private and corporate aircraft, reopened in December 2010.
Terminal A is used primarily for American's Airbus A321, and Boeing 737 and 757 operations, although the terminal has a gate capable of handling aircraft of the size up to Boeing 777. An American Airlines Admirals Club is located at the A24 gate.
As of January 2017 renovations in Terminal A are now completed.
Terminal A has 31 gates: A6-A29 and A33-39.
Terminal B
The terminal is called "Terminal 2W" when the airport is opened. It was occupied by Braniff International Airways, which was the largest airline to open DFW in 1974. Braniff was the main occupant until May 1982. The Inter-Faith chapel near the former gate United commemorates the airline. In the early 1990s, Terminal 2W housed most carriers other than America and Delta. Prior to the opening of Terminal D, all foreign flag operators operate from this terminal. AirTran Airways, Frontier Airlines, Midwest Airlines, and US Airways (including United States West Airlines) were relocated to Terminal E in 2006. On December 13, 2009, United moved to Terminal E to join its new alliance (and later merger) Continental partners, at which point American Eagle becomes the sole operator in Terminal B. An American Airlines Admirals Club is located at the B3 gate.
As TRIP increases, a new 10-gate stinger concourse from Terminal B is built between the gates B28 and B33 to accommodate growth. Concourse stinger makes Terminal B the largest terminal in DFW in terms of number of gates.
Terminal B memiliki 47 gerbang: B1-B3 (opsional FIS), B4-B12, B14-B22, B24-B29, B30-B39 (north stinger), dan B40-B49.
Terminal C
American Airlines operates all gates in Terminal C, originally called "Terminal 3E", only for domestic flights. The terminal houses the American MD-80, some of its 767, and A319s. Admirals Club American Airlines is located at C20 gate. The Hyatt Regency DFW Airport is directly adjacent to this terminal. A twin hotel building stood opposite the International Parkway but was demolished for the construction of Terminal D.
Terminal C has not started their TRIP Repair. DFW Airport CEO Sean Donohue has been in talks with American about the future of Terminal C. They will destroy it once Terminal F is completed, or renovate and save it for other airlines to use so American and other airlines do not have to give up the gateway.
Terminal C has 28 gates: C2-C4, C6-C8, C10-C12, C14-C17, C19-C22, C24, C26-C31, C33, C35-C37, and C39.
Terminal D (international)
D International Terminal is a 2,000,000 square foot facility (186,000 m 2 ) capable of handling 32,000 passengers a day or 11.7 million passengers annually. The terminal has 200 ticket positions and a federal inspection facility capable of processing 2,800 passengers per hour. The concession area consists of 100,000 sq ft (9,290 m 2 ) retail, including many dining and retail options. Shops include Mont Blanc, La Bodega Wines, Brookstone, L'Occitane, and many others. The terminal was officially opened on July 23, 2005.
The eight-level parking garage has over 8,100 parking spaces and uses an Intelligent Technology System that lets guests know which floor is full. Skybridges are air-conditioned with moving walkways and elevators connecting the garage to the terminal, and climbing the climbers' canopy roof from bad weather as they enter and exit the terminal.
298 Grand Hyatt DFW Hotel rooms are connected directly to the terminal. In addition, Terminal D has a Suite Menit hotel located within security.
Admirals Club American Airlines is located at D24 gate. A British Airways Lounge, Korean Air Lounge, Lufthansa Lounge and Qantas Business Lounge are located at D21 gate. American Express Centurion Lounge is located at D17 gate.
On April 3, 2014, DFW Airport CEO Sean Donohue announced that Emirates Airlines will upgrade their service from Boeing 777-200LR to Airbus A380 starting October 1, 2014. However, due to low passenger demand, Emirates temporarily returned to 777 in February 2016, with plans to re-upgrade to the A380 in September. However, Emirates never switched back to the A380 after that, continuing flights with 777.
On May 7, 2014, Qantas announced an increase to the A380 service starting September 29, 2014, and the Airport announced that gates 15 and 16 were being renovated to accommodate the A380 in anticipation of new services. Terminal D has been designed with the A380 in mind; However, loading a double deck aircraft requires three gates with separate jet bridges to serve first class passengers and business class at the top level, so the renovation includes the addition of a 16X gate. On September 29, 2014, the Qantas A380-sport cowboy hat warning and bandana on the Kangaroo tail-logo logo service was unveiled at the renovated gate. Qantas Flight 7 and 8 continue to use the A380 and remain the longest non-stop flight to and from DFW Airport.
Terminal D has 30 gates: D5 (bus gate), D6-D8, D10-D12, D14, D15-D16-D16X (A380-capable gate), D17-D18, D20-D25, D27-D31, D33-D34, and D36-D40.
Terminal E
Terminal E, originally called Terminal 4E, was occupied primarily by Delta Air Lines until Delta closed its center in 2005 and retained only flights to other hubs. Delta branded the "Easy Street" terminal and marketed the term to passengers. Today, terminals are used by all US-based carriers at airports other than Sun Country, and by Air Canada Express and WestJet USCBP flight forecasts from Canada. Terminal E was once the only terminal in DFW where American Airlines had no presence, but this changed after a merger with US Airways, when they merged the gates.
The previous terminal had customs facilities used when Delta operated flights to Frankfurt in the early 1990s, and when Air France and Aeromà ©  © xico were used to serve DFW before International D Terminal was built. In 2000, partner airlines SkyTeam Continental and Northwest moved to a gate adjacent to the Delta.
Terminal E is connected to another terminal by Skylink, but has no path to another terminal. An interfaith chapel located at the gate of E4, Delta Sky Club is located at the E11 gate, and United Club is located between the gates of E6 and E7.
Terminal renovation completed in August 2017.
Terminal E mem. 35 gerbang: E2, E4-E18, E20-E21, E22-E30 (satellite terminal), E31-E38.
Satellite Terminal
Terminal E has its own characteristics because it has a satellite terminal connected by an underground passage. Satellites, opened in 1988 to accommodate Delta and then used by Delta Connection operators before closing when Delta closed their DFW hub in 2005. It was used briefly in 2009 to accommodate federal workers who evacuated New Orleans International Airport during Hurricane Gustav. Renovated and reopened in 2013 to accommodate US Airways and Spirit Airlines while Terminal E is being renovated.
In April 2018, DFW Airport and American Airlines announced a $ 20 million renovation to the terminal, turning the nine existing gates into 15 regional gates, along with updating interior fixtures such as carpets, elevators, escalators and moving sidewalks. The American plan for renovation has been completed and is fully transferred to the terminal in spring 2019.
Currently, Air Canada and Spirit use the terminal as an overflow for early morning departures.
Terminal F (future)
The sixth terminal, known as Terminal F, will be located just south of Terminal D and across the International Parkway from Terminal E, on the Express South parking lot. Skylink is designed and built to accommodate Terminal F, since its path follows a semi-circular path above the parking lot, similar to its path through another terminal, rather than walking in a straight line between Terminals D and E; with a fairly long straight section to allow the station platform. DFW Airport CEO Sean Donohue said that Terminal F "is likely to be in our future," as the airport anticipates "serving nearly 70 million customers annually by the end of the decade from the 60 million we serve today." Donohue also stated that the planning will begin in 2015.

With 578,906 tons of cargo handled in 2009, DFW was the 29th busiest cargo airport in the world. In 2010, DFW International Airport gained the distinction between "Best Cargo Airport in North America 2010" from Air Cargo World, the leading publication of the air freight industry. In 2013, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport handles nearly sixty-five percent of all aircraft cargo in Texas. Asia accounts for half of all cargo and Europe accounts for 30% of cargo in DFW. On May 15, 2014, Ameriflight announced it would move its headquarters from Bob Hope Burbank Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to better serve its customers in North and South America.

Transportation
Inside the airport
- The person's driving system, named Skylink, made its public debut at DFW International Airport on June 25, 2004 when it started a rigorous testing period. Opened to the public on May 21, 2005 and is the largest high-speed airport rail system in the world. Truly automatic, the Skylink train runs every two minutes, and travels at speeds up to 35 mph (56 km/h). Skylink is double tracked, enabling two-way operation. The Skylink system is obtained from Bombardier Transportation and connects all terminals on the safe side.
- Skylink replaces the original Airtrans system (part of which is then operated as TrAAin American Airlines System), the latest drivers at the opening of the airport. The airline served the airport for 31 years from 1974-2005 and moved a quarter of one billion passengers between four terminals and the DFW employee facility, recording a total of 97,000,000 km (156,000,000 km) in its fleet. Over time, its top speed of 17 mph (27 km/h) and uni-directional guideway make it impractical to connect passenger transfers. This system is disabled as soon as Skylink opens as a modern substitute; old gates left at all airports.
- Terminal Link connects all terminals with a shuttle bus system on the insecure side.
- The consolidated rental car facility is located at the southern end of the airport and is connected to all terminals by a dedicated shuttle bus network. Hosting ten car rental companies, the center was completed in March 2000.
To and from the airport
- DFW is served by the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail line at CenterPort/DFW Airport Station, just south of the airport. The line serves downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth.
- The Dallas Rapid Transit area offers a bus service to Irving/Heritage City Station and the Western Medical District/Parkland Station on route 408 from the Southern Long Distance parking facility.
- On August 18, 2014, DART opened DFW Airport Station located at Terminal A. It provides direct rail services on Orange Line to Dallas and Las Colinas (with later extension to DFW North Station). These stations will be the main stations for future TEX Rail being developed by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority and the DART Cotton Belt Line.
Nearest highway
The DFW Airport area is served by the International Parkway (part of State Highway 97 Spur), which runs through the airport center, connects to Freeway Airport (State Highway 183) on the south side of the airport and John W. Carpenter Freeway (State Highway 114) on the north side. The International Parkway continues north of State Highway 114, carrying State Highway 121 designations for a while until the intersection with Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (I-635), where State Highway 121 continues north as Sam Rayburn Tollway. I-35E is easily accessible by going north on the International Parkway, or east on I-635 or 114.
Founder Plaza
In 1995, the airport opened the Founders' Plaza, an observation park dedicated to the founders of DFW Airport. The site offers panoramic views of the southern end of the airport and hosts several important events, including an employee's warning a day after the September 11 terrorist attacks of 2001 and the 30th anniversary of the airport in 2004. As part of the perimeter taxiway project, Pendiri Plaza closed in 2007 and moved to a new location which surrounded a 15-meter lighthouse on the northern side of the airport in 2008. The 6-hectare (2.4 ha) plaza has granite monuments. and sculptures, post-binoculars, the sound of the air traffic control pipe and the pavilion shelter. In 2010, a memorial to honor Delta Air Lines Flight 191 was dedicated on the square.
Other facilities
Facilities at 1639 West 23rd Street are located on the airport property and in the City of Grapevine. Tenants include China Airlines, Lufthansa Cargo, and US Fish and Fish Services.
DFW Airport Public Security Department provides airports with police, fire protection and emergency medical services.
Accidents and incidents
- August 2, 1985: Delta Air Lines Flight 191, a Lockheed L-1011 on the Fort Lauderdale-Dallas/Fort Worth-Los Angeles route, crashed near the northern end of the 17R runway (now 17C) after a severe microburst meeting on the final approach; The accident killed 8 of the 11 crew members, 128 of the 152 passengers inside and one on the ground.
- March 24, 1987: The pilot of the Metroflight Convair CV-580, registration number N73107 , operates for American Eagle Airlines on a commuter flight to Longview, Texas, losing control of direction during a crossover take-off. The left wing and the propeller hit the runway and the landing gear of the nose crashed as the plane slid off the runway and onto the adjacent taxi runway; 8 passengers and 3 crew on the plane suffered minor injuries or not. The accident was due to a pilot's decision to ignore wind and take-off information in weather conditions that exceeded the rated ability of the aircraft; "Belief in the personal abilities [pilot]" he cited as contributing factors in the accident report.
- May 21, 1988: American Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, registration number N136AA , operates as AA 70 Flight to Frankfurt, overland runway 35L after an automatic alert signal pushes the crew to try to take off rejected; the jet continued to accelerate for several seconds before slowing down, and did not stop until it ran as far as 1,100 feet (335 m) over the runway threshold, dropping the nose landing gear. 2 heavy crew members and 12 remaining crew and 240 passengers fled safely; the plane was badly damaged and removed. Researchers attribute the overrun with deficiencies in the design standards used when DC-10 is built; there is no requirement to test whether half-used brake pads (as opposed to new ones) are capable of stopping the aircraft during a rejected takeoff and 8 of 10 sets of wear pads on N136AA have failed.
- August 31, 1988: Delta Air Lines Flight 1141, a Boeing 727 heading to Salt Lake City International Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah, crashed after takeoff from Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, killing two of the 7 crew members and 12 out of 101 passengers.
- April 14, 1993: American Airlines Flight 102 pilot, McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, registration number
, lost control of the wind direction during rainfall and caused jets to slide off runway 17L after arriving from Honolulu, Hawaii. The plane dug deep mud along the runway, dropping the nose landing gear and tearing the left engine and many left wing. The fire on the left wheel was quickly extinguished by firefighters who arrived almost immediately from the nearby DFW/DPS Fire Station. 2 passengers suffered serious injuries while using the evacuation slide to escape from the fuselage; the remaining 187 passengers and all 13 crew were evacuated in relative safety, but the plane was a total loss. - May 23, 2001: Fokker 100's premier flight landline 100, registration number N1419D , operates as AA Flight 1107, crashed on landing on the 17C runway after a scheduled flight from Charlotte/International Airport Douglas. The pilot is able to maintain control of the direction and make the aircraft stop on the runway. The incident was due to metal fatigue caused by manufacturing defects in the outer cylinder of the main right gear; no serious injuries to 88 passengers or 4 crew, but the plane was canceled.
