April 11, 2021

Acronym

Detroit Metropolitan Airport, also known as DTW, is located in Romulus, Michigan. It was established in 1925 as the Detroit-Wayne Major Airport and was renamed Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in 1947. The airport opened its doors to commercial service on October 1st, 1930. The original terminal building was constructed of wood and canvas and had a single 2,500-foot runway. Over the next few years, the airport expanded its operations with additional runways and facilities for airmail services.

In 1941, the U.S. Army Air Corps took over the airport for military operations during World War II. After the war ended, it was returned to civilian use and underwent several renovations in order to accommodate larger aircrafts and higher passenger volumes. In 1958, a new terminal building opened with modern amenities such as air conditioning and jet bridges for boarding aircrafts directly from the gate area.

Since then Detroit Metro has continued to expand its services by adding more gates, runways, parking lots and other facilities over time. In 2008 a new international terminal was added which features state-of-the-art amenities such as free Wi-Fi access and an automated baggage system that can handle up to 4200 bags per hour. In addition to serving more than 32 million passengers annually from around the world, DTW is also home to many cargo carriers that provide vital supplies throughout Michigan and beyond.
