Arlington Municipal Airport (GKY) · Mid-Cities & Entertainment District
Arlington Municipal Airport sits centrally between Dallas and Fort Worth, serving the Mid-Cities and the AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field entertainment district. Every ad-hoc broker marks up your flight 15–30%. FlyRoving Gold Members access the same aircraft at wholesale operator rates, for a flat $399.99/month.
Why Arlington
Arlington Municipal Airport is the only airport positioned directly between Dallas and Fort Worth, making it the most convenient private aviation access point for the Mid-Cities corridor — Arlington, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, and the entertainment district anchored by AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Six Flags.
Its 6,080ft runway handles turboprops, light jets, and select midsize jets. For larger aircraft, FlyRoving arranges departures from Love Field or the broader Dallas market. Every ad-hoc broker adds a 15–30% markup; FlyRoving's Gold Membership removes it entirely, for a flat $399.99/month.
