Do you want to know more about Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport?

Wayne County Airport was conceived in 1927, but the construction was finished in 1929. The first airport landing occurred in 1930 and Thompson Aeronautical Corporation inaugurated their service from Michigan's most populated county on that same year. Wayne County Airport became the base of the U.S. Army Air Forces' Michigan Air National Guard operations between 1931 and 1945.

The U.S. Army announced that they will release the Wayne County Airport in 1944 and it was later on opened to serve Wayne County and Detroit. The name of the airport was changed to Detroit-Wayne Major Airport in 1947.

Wayne County Road Commission and American Airlines signed a 30-year contract in 1956. The contract calls for the airline to shift their operations from the Willow Run Airport to the Detroit-Wayne Major Airport. American Airlines was first among other airlines that operate out of Willow Run Airport to agree to the shifting proposal.

A year after the contract signing, they started the construction of the L.C. Smith Terminal, which features a 10,500-foot runway, hotel, and restaurant. In 1958, the airport's name was changed to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and was granted an international jet craft airport certificate. Terminal 2, or also known as the North Terminal, was established in 1966 and on the same year, six airlines from Willow Run Airport transferred to Detroit Metro Airport. The master plan of the Detroit Airport was finally completed in 1972 and it included there the addition of two runways.

Through the course of its operation, the Detroit Metropolitan Airport has undergone several changes and improvements, including the expansion of L.C. Smith Terminal, modifications of Concourse “G” and International Terminal. In 2000, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport sets the record for having the most number of passengers in 2000. The airport serviced 35,535,080 passengers during that year, which had beaten its old record in 1999 by 4.4 percent.

The world-famous McNamara Terminal, which was formerly called Northwest WorldGateway was established in 2002. It replaced the Davey Terminal, which was Northwest Airline's principal hub until it was closed on that same year. The A concourse consist of 64 gates and 12 of those are used for processing international departures and arrivals. The B and C concourses, on the other hand, have 58 gates that are used for processing the regional flights of Delta.
