Aerial view of Denton Airport (DTO)

Denton Airport (DTO) is the premier general aviation facility for North Texas, offering a full range of aeronautic services. DTO serves a number of major companies for transportation of cargo, personnel, vendors and prospective clients. The Airport is also the base of operations for law enforcement and search and rescue operations, including CareFlite.

As one of only three FAA-designated super-reliever airports in Texas, Denton Airport relieves general aviation traffic from DFW International Airport (DFW). It also serves as a major mid-continent refueling center, with appropriate services to accommodate business users.

Denton Airport provides a choice location, business trade benefits and many development opportunities for aviation-related companies. And with a number of ongoing facility enhancements, Airport management is committed to developing an environment where your business can take flight.
