Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) now contributes an estimated 78.3 billion USD a year to the North Texas economy and supports around 684,000 regional jobs, according to a new economic impact study by The Perryman Group.

The report, produced every five years, indicates significant growth since 2014, when DFW’s annual gross product contribution was assessed at 46.4 billion USD. The airport’s gross product (the value generated by airport-related activity) has risen by 69% over the decade, driven by rising passenger numbers, expanded air services and broader business development.

Total expenditures linked to the airport increased from 87 billion USD in 2014 to 146 billion USD in 2024. Employment supported directly and indirectly by DFW grew from 508,000 to 684,000 over the same period, with more than 50,600 people employed on-site. Personal income related to airport activity reached 47.7 billion USD in 2024, up from 28.3 billion USD a decade earlier.

The study also outlines the fiscal effects of airport-related activity. It estimates annual tax contributions of more than 14 billion USD to the federal government, 5 billion USD to the state and 3.4 billion USD to local authorities.

DFW Airport’s impact reaches far beyond travel, as it fuels economic opportunity in every corner of North Texas. This study shows how the airport’s growth translates directly into new jobs, stronger small businesses, and expanded connections with the Texas economy. As we modernise our terminals and invest in the next decade of infrastructure, we’re laying the groundwork for even more innovation, commerce and shared prosperity across our communities.

DFW’s ongoing 12 billion USD capital programme, which includes airfield projects, facility upgrades, additional gates and the development of Terminal F, is projected to generate nearly 5 billion USD in further federal, state and local tax revenues upon completion. These developments are expected to support additional jobs and future increases in economic output.

Serving one of the most dynamic economies in the world, DFW Airport helps support current success, and future expansion and prosperity, and is a major catalyst to continuing development. Through its operations and related activity, DFW generates substantial – and growing – economic and fiscal benefits to the region, state, and nation.
