Dallas\/Fort Worth International Airport<\/a> (DFW) has long been a key hub for American Airlines<\/a>. People like to say that everything is bigger in Texas, and this is certainly true when it comes to American’s route network out of DFW, as this summer has seen the carrier add nine new routes to its roster. Three are domestic, while the new six international corridors showcase a lot of variety. <\/p>\n

With DFW being one of the most important hub airports in American’s wider network, these additions are not just targeting point-to-point traffic. Rather, the carrier will also be looking to leverage DFW’s hub status to encourage passengers from these destinations to fly into Texas and make onward journeys within the US with American Airlines or its regional partners. Let’s take a look at the routes.<\/p>\n

According to current scheduling data from Cirium<\/a>, an aviation analytics company, two of American Airlines’ nine new routes from DFW this summer serve cities located in Europe<\/a>. Zurich Airport (ZRH) in Switzerland is a returning destination rather than a brand-new one, having last been served in 2007. These flights operate using the Boeing 777-200ER and run daily from May 21 to August 3. <\/p>\n

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH) in Greece, on the other hand, has never been served by American Airlines from DFW before. This route will see flights operated by both the 777-200ER and 777-300ER this year, with these services running daily from May 21 to September 7. Commenting on these two new routes, American\u2019s Senior Vice President of DFW Operations, Jim Moses, commented on the route.<\/p>\n

“New service to Athens and Zurich is a great example of how American continues to invest in its largest hub with even more opportunities to connect to destinations around the world.”<\/p>\n

Other International Additions<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the international scene, American has also added two new long-haul routes to South America to its DFW summer roster. In both cases, these corridors serve destinations that American was already flying to but did not previously have flights in the third quarter of the year, when the peak summer<\/a> season tends to fall. They serve Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. <\/p>\n

The latter of these is typically only served in the winter, and it has been 12 years since American operated Q3 flights from DFW to Rio. However, a one-off rotation in September with the 787-8 Dreamliner means that it will just about be served in the third quarter this time around. As for Buenos Aires, American will operate 18 rotations in July and two in August, also using the 234-seat 787-8.<\/p>\n

Closer to home, American has also added Q3 flights on its route to Loreto in Mexico. These operate weekly using Envoy Air’s Embraer E175 regional jets under the American Eagle banner for most of the year, although this frequency doubles in the peak winter months. Puerto Escondido is another new Mexican destination from DFW, with these E175-operated flights running twice a week.<\/p>\n

Domestic Growth<\/p>\n

Given its size and population, the US also has a thriving domestic air market, and its busy nature is reflected in Americans’ eagerness to grow in this area. With this in mind, it has added flights from DFW to Gunnison for the first time in Q3. This route is normally only served in the winter.<\/p>\n

These Airbus A319-operated flights will run daily from July 1 to September 8. Elsewhere, American has also added two brand-new domestic routes from DFW this year: Lincoln and Roanoke. The former is served twice daily by American Eagle flights operated by SkyWest Airlines’ Bombardier CRJ700 regional jets, while the latter is served daily by PSA Airlines’ larger Bombardier CRJ900s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas\/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has long been a key hub for American Airlines.
