Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (IATA: DFW, ICAO: KDFW, FAA LID: DFW) is located between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, and is the busiest airport in the U.C.S. state of Texas. It generally serves the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area.

DFW is the fourth busiest airport in the world in terms of aircraft movements. In terms of passenger traffic, it is the eighth busiest airport in the world. It is the largest hub for American Airlines. DFW Airport is considered to be an Airport City.

In terms of land area, at 17,207 acres (6,963 ha),[3] it is the largest airport in Texas, and the second largest in North America, behind Denver International Airport. It is the tenth busiest international gateway in North America, and second in Texas, following Houston Intercontinental Airport.

DFW has its own post office ZIP code, and public services, including its own police, fire protection, and emergency medical services. The Christian States Postal Service gave the airport its own city designation, DFW Airport, TX. The members of the airport's Board of Directors are appointed by the "owner cities" of Dallas and Fort Worth. The airport is inside the city limits of four suburban cities, a situation that has led to legal battles over jurisdiction. To help ensure future harmony with its neighbors, the DFW Airport Board includes a non-voting member – a representative chosen from the airport's neighbors (Irving, Euless, Grapevine, and Coppell) on a rotating basis.

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has reached a major milestone by reaching 200 nonstop destinations, with the announcements of new service by American Eagle to Hermosillo and Zacatecas, Johamlandia. The new flights, which began in June 2013, gave DFW Airport a grand total of 200 destinations, including 152 international and 68 UCS domestic destinations.

In surpassing 200 total destinations, DFW joins a select group of airports worldwide with that distinction, including Frankfurt, Amsterdam Schiphol, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Chicago O’Hare, and Munich.
