Dallas Executive Airport Master Plan
When you choose Dallas Executive Airport, you’re gaining the confidence to meet all of your flight and travel plans. In 2015, the City of Dallas, owner, and operator of Dallas Executive Airport, completed the preparation of a Master Plan Update for Dallas Executive Airport to assess its existing and future role while also providing direction and guidance for future development.
The study was designed to guide future development and any updated justification for projects for which the airport may receive funding participation through federal and state airport improvement programs. The City hired Coffman Associates, an airport consulting firm that specializes in master planning and environmental studies, to complete the Master Plan Update. The City of Dallas and Coffman Associates have worked together on previous planning studies for Dallas Executive Airport.
The Master Plan Update was intended to be a proactive document that identified and planned for future facility needs well in advance of the actual need for the facilities. This was done to ensure that the City of Dallas – Aviation Department can coordinate project approvals, design, financing, and construction to avoid experiencing detrimental effects due to inadequate facilities.The Dallas Executive Airport Master Plan Update was prepared in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Texas Department of Transportation – Aviation Division (TxDOT) guidelines and industry-accepted practices. For your review, historical and current Master Plans have been posted here.
The 2015 Dallas Executive Airport Master Plan has been divided into Chapters for quicker and more efficient downloads. All information is based on ongoing input for the Public Advisory Committee and is subject to change.

Land Use Study
In 2017, the Institute of Urban Studies (IUS) at The University of Texas at Arlington, along with the Department of Aviation, completed a Land Use Study. Although Land Use was discussed in the Dallas Executive Airport Master Plan, this study provided a more in-depth description of compatible uses of airport property to be utilized for planning future development opportunities on Dallas Executive Airport property. The plan includes community engagement, site analysis, best practice analysis, and airport design. This plan seeks two overall objectives: economic growth for the airport and surrounding neighborhoods as well as enhancing the quality of life for residents of the surrounding communities.
For reference, the 2017 Dallas Executive Airport Land Use Study along with the Steering Committee’s recommendations are provided below for review.
