A third commercial airport opens in the Dallas area

[Beaker]

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 am heavily tempted to use them to go to FL, I hope it works out just for the potential convenience of it.

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.

The suburbs north of Dallas have exploded. Collin County in 2026 vs 1993 is unrecognizable. Hell, 2013 vs now is unrecognizable.

Dang shame about Avelo doing those deportation flights.

I worked on the feasibility study for this.

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.

And I on bringing the service

This is a wonderful airport for Collin County and fast-growing North Dallas. Hope others here have an opportunity to try it out.

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.

Still sitting on a pile of cash at YNG if you guys want to move in and dictate whatever terms you want. Just sayin'

That convenience goes away when a mechanical or weather event happens and you get stuck for a week.

It’s brutal. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed. Don’t they know I’m trying to have a conversation?

I'm sure much to the chagrin of my western neighbors, sometimes DFW is even presented as Dallas, TX - Ft. Worth, and Love field as Dallas, TX - Love, as if Ft. Worth just happened to be the name of the airport, and not a coequal city partner.
