DuPage Airport (DPA)

Know Before You Go

DuPage Airport (DPA) is located approximately 16 miles west of Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). DPA averages approximately 370 aircraft operations daily with general aviation (both local and transient) making up over 93% of the traffic mix. 

The airspace at DPA is Class D with a 3300’ MSL ceiling and underlies Chicago Class B airspace. (Refer to Sectional Chart). 

DuPage Airport Diagram calling out parallel taxiways and parallel staggered runways.

There are 4 RWYS at DPA:

  • Two parallel RWYs with staggered thresholds – RWY 02L/20R and RWY 02R/20L.  
  • RWY 10/28 intersects RWY 02L/20R.
  • RWY 15/33 has a displaced threshold at the approach end of RWY 33.
  • All RWYS have full-length parallel TWYs.

Parallel, staggered RWYs and full-length TWYS increase the risk of a Wrong Surface Event.
