(WBAP/KLIF) – Fort Worth, TX – American Airlines is changing the structure of it’s flights at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the airline’s largest hub.
Beginning in April — and now visible in the airline’s schedules — American’s DFW operation is increasing the number of banks in the system – large clusters of flights across the operating day.
Moving from a 9-bank system to a 13-bank structure is designed to provide more certainty to the Fort Worth based carrier’s 100-thousand peak daily customers traveling on the more than 900 peak DFW daily departing flights.
“As the operating environment and our customers’ expectations have evolved in the last 10 years, our approach at our largest and most impactful hub must also evolve,” said Jim Moses, Senior Vice President of DFW Operations. “We’re making this significant shift while maintaining the same breadth, depth and schedule quality our customers expect and depend on. That means good things for American’s customers, our team members and just about everyone who depends on the airline.”
American’s new structure at DFW reduces the concentration of very short connection times, creating more balance to offer customers greater confidence when planning their journey.
