The Denton CVB coordinated with the Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), Business Air and U.S. Aviation, at the Denton Municipal Airport to welcome charter and private planes arriving for Super Bowl. Pictured, volunteers Priscilla Sanders and Julie Glover wait for the next flight to land.

In an effort to get the Denton Airport runway open to accommodate Super Bowl and routine air traffic, the Denton Municipal Airport arranged for a turbojet powered ice removal truck to clear the packed snow and ice from the runway and dry the surface.
