Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, sometimes called Detroit Metro Airport, Metro Airport, or simply DTW, is an airport in Romulus, Michigan, near Detroit.
The airport is a major hub and the operational headquarters for Northwest Airlines and its Northwest Airlink partners, Mesaba Airlines and Pinnacle Airlines; it is also a hub for Spirit Airlines.
Wayne County authorities began planning for a new airport in the western portions of the county as early as 1927, and the county acquired one square mile of land for an aviation facility, to be called Wayne County Airport, at the corner of Middlebelt and Wick Roads on the northeastern corner of today's airport, the following year.
Construction was completed in 1929, and the first official landing took place on February 22, 1930.
