It’s Geography Awareness Week! The Dallas/Fort Worth Airport is larger than Manhattan
That can't be true, can it?
As a matter of fact, it is. And not based on one of my 83% statistics, either. In terms of land area, the entire island of Manhattan covers 22.96 square miles, but whoever designed the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport figured he needed 28.24 square miles to fit an airport.
Yes, the Dallas/Fort Worth airport is the second largest airport in the country (behind only Denver), the fourth busiest in the world (by aircraft movements) and has its own Zip code. It's primary function is to help people get the heck out of Dallas.
