Del Rio International Airport

Del Rio International Airport (KDRT) is a medium airport in Del Rio, TX. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KDRT or IATA code DRT. It sits in North America.

Del Rio International Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 6,300-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 6,300 ft (1,920 m), a midsize and super-midsize-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Citation Longitude, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G280. In practice this comfortable for most midsize and super-mid charter equipment.

Del Rio International Airport lies at 1,002 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Chicago. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 39 departing and 42 arriving private-jet legs at KDRT across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KDRT 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.
