Dallas Love Field Q1 2026 Movements Steady at 18,705 (+2%), but Satellite Airport Addison Surges 13% YoY — DFW Metro Business Jet Demand Spillover Effect Emerges, FBO Expansion Window Is at Secondary Airports
●Dallas Love Field
Analysis
AviGo data shows DFW's three major business jet airports combined 34,909 movements in Q1 2026 (YoY +4.2%). KDAL holds 53.6% share at 18,705, growing just 2.0% YoY; but KADS (Addison) surged from 7,220 to 8,161 (+13.0%), with incremental growth of 941 — the highest of the three. KFTW grew only 1.3%. Meanwhile, Citadel Aviation entered KDAL taking over the former Bravo Aviation facility, and FlyHouse acquired JetsMRO adding a Dallas service point — multiple operators/MROs simultaneously betting on Dallas. KDAL is dominated by the NetJets (18.5%) and Flexjet (11.8%) duopoly, combining for 30.2%. Addison's higher growth may reflect spillover from KDAL capacity tightening; for FBO investors, secondary airports may offer higher returns. Confidence: ★★★ (AviGo + KG dual verification).
