Dallas/Fort Worth International (KDFW), Texas: Ranked Among Most Dangerous Airports by Travel and Leisure Magazine

A report by Travel and Leisure magazine has ranked Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport among the most dangerous in the country when it comes to runway safety.

DFW airport, the only Texas airport to make the list, ranked 10th with a score of 2.86 from 61 runway incidents in the last 5 years.


The publication compared 35 of the busiest commercial airports in the country and weighed certain instances on the FAA's Runway Safety Support, namely those which could have resulted in a catastrophic collison against those that had only significant potential for a collison.

The airport then listed the Top 20 airports.

In the report, Travel and Leisure cited a 30-day period in 2008 where the airport racked-up 10 near-misses.
