Waco Regional Airport
Waco sits roughly halfway between Dallas and Austin in central Texas, and its Regional Airport operates two runways, at 516 feet above sea level to handle scheduled commercial service alongside general aviation traffic. Waco has grown as a travel destination in recent years, and its airport provides a direct alternative to driving to one of the larger airports in Dallas-Fort Worth or Austin. Steady rather than heavy demand shapes this medium-sized field, suited to a mid-sized Texas city rather than a major metropolitan hub.
