It's simple, like a regional airline outstation, but the Dallas area officially has a third airport with scheduled airline service. We will see if we become like LA with an airport in every county, or if it flops. Currently only served by Avelo.

I think it's great. Growth at KDAL is limited due to the number of gates being capped. DFW is a long drive for some and busy. I think having more airports makes sense. That area of Texas will continue to grow. I read an article on this airport in the summer. McKinney has put a lot of resources into developing the terminal.
 
It's one of those ones where the IATA code is totally different from the ICAO and FAA LID. "DTX" vs "KTKI" (FAA "TKI"). IATA TKI is Tokeen Seaplane Base in Alaska.

Looks like an Avelo plane from LAS will land there in ~1 hour.
 
Will this generate more ZFW frequencies? Seems like there is 30 handoffs when traversing the state.

seems their sectors are all long distance north-south oriented and narrow east-west.

IWA is the same. IATA is AZA. Makes no sense.
 
Also, and I'm just saying here, Meacham used to be AA's headquarters. And then Amon Carter Field across 360 from their newer headquarters.
