Episode 41 – A Lifelong Love of Flight: Patrick Carreno’s Journey to the Captain’s Chair of DAL
In this episode of Destination Aviation, I sit down for a lively and insightful conversation with Patrick Carreno, the Director of the Dallas Airport System—which includes Dallas Love Field, Dallas Executive Airport, and the Dallas Vertiport. Over the course of an hour, we talk about his lifelong passion for aviation, his path to leadership, and what it takes to oversee one of the busiest and most dynamic mid-size hub airport systems in the country.
From industry trends to operational challenges, Patrick offers invaluable insights into the present and future of air travel. Along the way, we share some laughs, dive into his leadership philosophy, and explore the role airports play in shaping regional growth and innovation—especially with new technologies like urban air mobility.
Whether you're a seasoned aviation professional or just love learning about how airports work behind the scenes, this episode is packed with stories, wisdom, and a whole lot of heart.
