Daytona Beach International Airport
DAB is the code for Daytona Beach International Airport in Florida, a busy facility that shares its runways with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, one of the world's leading aviation and aerospace schools. This dual role makes DAB unusually active for a mid-sized airport, mixing scheduled airline traffic with a constant flow of student pilots in training. Daytona Beach's identity as a motorsports and spring-break destination also drives seasonal passenger surges, particularly around the Daytona 500 and Bike Week events, when demand for flights into the city spikes sharply.
