Summary

[edit]
Description

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport usually called Detroit Metro Airport or simply DTW, is a major international airport in the United States covering 6,700-acre (10.5 sq mi; 2,700 ha) in Romulus, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. It is Michigan's busiest airport and one of the world's largest air transportation hubs.

The airport serves as Delta's second busiest hub. Delta, along with SkyTeam partner Air France, occupy the McNamara Terminal, which contains both domestic and international gates and serves as the airline's primary gateway to Asia and its third-busiest gateway to Europe. The airport is a major gateway for tourism in metropolitan Detroit. The airport is one of SkyTeam's major Midwestern hubs. It is the second-largest base for Spirit Airlines, where the airline was founded and once operated its largest base. Operated by the Wayne County Airport Authority, the airport is one of the nation's most-recently expanded and modernized airports, with six major runways, two terminals, 145 in-service gates, and an on-site Westin Hotel and conference center. The McNamara Terminal Concourse A is the world's second-longest airport terminal building at 1 mi (1.6 km). It is just surpassed by the 1.06 mi (1.71 km) long Kansai International Airport (Beijing Capital Airport's Terminal 3, which opened in 2008 with a total length of 1.8 miles, is actually three, separate structures linked together by underground connectors). Detroit Metopolitan Airport has maintenance facilities capable of servicing and repairing aircraft as large as the Boeing 747.

In 2010, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport was the 16th-busiest airport in the United States and the 24th busiest airport in the world in terms of passenger traffic. In terms of aircraft operations (take-offs and landings), it remains one of the ten busiest airfields in North America.

The airport serves over 160 destinations and was named the best large U.S. airport in customer satisfaction by J.D. Power & Associates in 2010.
