When D/FW talks, other airports listen. It is a significant voice in the aviation industry, and it commands respect. Although it wasn’t until recently its name will be changed to D/FW International Airport, this hub of activity between Dallas and Fort Worth has been an international springboard for some time.
In the beginning, there was D/FW and there was a flight to Mexico City. Now D/FW accommodates eight carriers that make 147 nonstop direct international flights weekly. Twenty-one cities are serviced by nonstop or single-plane (one stop but no change) flights.
Of the 21 cities serviced out of D/FW, London prevails, serving 50,030 passengers annually. Mexico runs second, with 44,000 passengers; Calgary follows with 23,000.
D/FW offers direct, nonstop flights on American Airlines, Air Canada, British Caledonian, Delta, Lufthansa and Mex-icana. American Airlines leads the list, with 75 flights weekly to eight foreign cities. The future should bring more direct international fights from D/FW.
