DFW

About Dallas/Fort Worth

Dallas/Fort Worth International is the primary hub for American Airlines and one of the world's busiest airports by operations. Its seven runways give it exceptional capacity, but DFW sits in a region prone to severe thunderstorms, including supercells, hail, and tornadoes that require ground stops when storms move through the airfield. Winter weather — while less frequent than in northern cities — can cause significant disruption when ice storms hit the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
