Daytona Beach International Airport

Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB) is a medium airport in Daytona Beach, FL. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KDAB or IATA code DAB. It sits in North America.

Daytona Beach International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 10,500 ft (3,200 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Daytona Beach International Airport sits near sea level at 34 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 131 departing and 291 arriving private-jet legs at KDAB across the next six months of operator inventory. 6 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KDAB are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
