Directions to Fort Worth ARTCC (ZFW) and American Airlines SOC

ZFW and American's SOC are located just southwest of DFW International Airport on the southwest corner of the intersection of state highways 183 (Airport Freeway) and 360. Click here for map. From Airport Freeway take the exit for southbound 360 (to Arlington) and FAA Road. Keep to the right because you will have to exit again before reaching 360.

The American Airlines museum and SOC will be on your right other American facilities will be on your left. ZFW will be the second driveway on your left beyond the American facilities. The twin, orange and white microwave towers serve as a useful landmark. Sign in at the guard station.
