Southwest Airlines Axed Dallas’ 3rd Airport Because “It Didn’t Really Work,” CEO Admits

Southwest Airlines has discontinued operations at Dallas Love Field Airport, formally known as DFW Airport's third airport, due to its lack of success. According to Southwest CEO Bob Baker, the facility "didn't really work." This decision follows a significant investment of $72 million in a new terminal slated for opening in McKinney during mid-November. Meanwhile, Avelo Airlines is expanding rapidly, announcing plans to launch eleven leisure routes. These routes represent an initial offering, but the airline anticipates further growth opportunities within its network. The focus remains on providing accessible air travel options and building upon recent expansion efforts.
