Serving more than 36 million passengers per year, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport opened in 1929 after two years of construction. The airport consists of three separate buildings (McNamara Terminal, Smith Terminal, and Berry Terminal) and the on site Westin Hotel. While it is a non-smoking airport, smokers can find an adequate smoking area at Detroit 500 Sports Bar or Fox Skybox Sports Bar within McNamara Terminal. Easily reached by I-94 or Highway 275, passengers driving to the airport should not have a hard time finding their terminal. Downtown Detroit is approximately 20 miles to the east.
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport serves more than thirty airlines, a mix of charter, commuter, major, and cargo companies. There are close to 20,000 parking spaces in the variety of lots and garages that can easily handle daily traffic. Most passengers in this area fly onward to Chicago to catch other connections. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is the 11th busiest in North America and the 17th busiest in the world in terms of passengers passing through the airport. J.D. Powers and Associates named the airport second in passenger satisfaction within the nation. The airport holds steady at number three on the Airport Council International's list of best airports in North America.
Currently, the airport is working with area residents to help soundproof their homes against airport noise. They are also building a new terminal to replace the older Davey and Smith Terminals that struggle to keep up with the changing times. Davey Terminal has been torn down, and Smith Terminal will follow when the new terminal is ready in 2008.
