- The airport is closed to ultralights and gliders.Show FAA
- Runway 18L is designated as a calm wind runway.Show FAA
Lighting notes
- From dusk to dawn when the tower is closed, medium intensity runway lights on runways 18L/36R and 18R/36L are preset to low intensity. To increase intensity and activate the medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights on runway 18L, use the common traffic advisory frequency.Show FAA

Denton Enterprise Airport is in Denton, Texas. The field elevation is 642.8 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 18L/36R at 7,002 ft. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2200. One ILS approach is published for runway 18L.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL. That is 1,442.8 ft MSL. Runway headings are magnetic. Both runways are aligned 181° and 1°.
Sheltair is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you need fuel or ramp details, call them at (940) 297-6411 before you go.
A few remarks matter for a first-time arrival. Runway 18L is the calm wind runway. There are obstacle clearance notes near both ends of 18L and 36R. Pay attention to the displaced threshold picture and the localizer antenna area on short final. Mowing happens from May through September. The airport is closed to ultralights and gliders. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Lone Star Approach. For lighting after dark, the runway lights come up in low intensity by default. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights for 18L.
