DALLAS/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport has reached a major milestone by reaching 200 nonstop destinations, with the announcements of new service by American Eagle to Hermosillo and Zacatecas, Mexico. The new flights, which begin in June, will give DFW Airport a grand total of 200 destinations, including 52 international and 148 US domestic destinations.
In surpassing 200 total destinations, DFW joins a select group of airports worldwide with that distinction, including Frankfurt, Amsterdam Schiphol, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Chicago O’Hare, and Munich.
“Even with this tremendous achievement of 200 destinations, our Airport still has plenty of room to grow and add more capacity,” said Jeff Fegan, DFW Airport’s CEO. “We are optimistic that DFW can continue to attract more air service in the coming months and years, particularly new international service, as we build on our mission to connect the Dallas/Fort Worth area to the world.”
DFW Airport has experienced an unprecedented expansion of air service in the past three years, adding seven new passenger airlines, three new cargo carriers, fourteen new international destinations and ten new domestic destinations. In addition to new flights from its hub carriers American Airlines and American Eagle, DFW has also welcomed new service from Virgin America, Qantas, Emirates, JetBlue, Cayman Airways and Aeromexico in that time period, and will see the start of new service from WestJet later this year.
DFW represents the largest hub and home base for American Airlines, and the largest airport hub in the oneworld Alliance network. As a result, DFW offers outstanding connectivity to passengers throughout North America, an excellent gateway point for international travellers to the United States, and outstanding flight options worldwide to Europe, Mexico and Latin America.
DFW is also building on its future with a seven-year, $2.3 billion Terminal Renewal and Improvement Program (TRIP) designed to modernise the Airport’s original four passenger terminals.
