More D/FW-Heathrow service if AA/BA deal approved?
We mentioned yesterday that American and British Airways dominate the D/FW-to-Heathrow route, a fact that the airlines noted in their latest filing with the Department of Transportation.
Don Casey, who heads international planning at American had this to add about the route from North Texas to London:
"This is a relatively small market with only 2000 passengers per week but over 5000 seats per week. That is, the market is well served because it is a hub to hub market for AA/BA. This is the kind of market that should end up with more service if this agreement is approved. The DFW airport recognizes the consumer benefits from the AA/BA proposal and have issued a press release supporting the deal."
More service to London would certainly be a good thing for D/FW and local business travelers who regularly fly between the two cities.
