About Greater Southwest International Airport-Amon Carter Field

Greater Southwest International Airport-Amon Carter Field

Greater Southwest International Airport — originally Amon Carter Field (ACF) — was a commercial airport serving Fort Worth, Texas, from 1953 until 1974. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) opened in 1974 a few miles north to replace Greater Southwest and Dallas Love Field as a single airport for the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The area is now a commercial/light-industrial park serving DFW International, centered along Amon Carter Boulevard, which follows the old north-south runway.
