The main airport serving the Dallas Metroplex is DFW International Airport. It is Texas’s largest airport and the second largest in the US. DFW airport soared last year on the strength of domestic leisure travelers in the United States, with a maximum of 62 million passengers. It surpassed other airports in the country such as Los Angeles and Chicago O’Hare, which rely on international passengers for a greater percentage of traffic.

According to ACI, Dallas international airport served  over 62.5 million passengers in the year 2021, which has made it the world’s second busiest airport in terms of passenger volume. DFW increased by 58.7% in 2020 and intends to return to 2019 levels in the current year. The above increase reflects DFW’s collaboration with flight partners, broadening their airport services.
