DFW is pleased to welcome the most recent development in priority shipping with the groundbreaking of American Airlines Global Priority Shipping Center at DFW Airport on June 13th. The new facility will be the first drive thru-facility in the country for small package shipments offered by a passenger airline.

The Global Priority Shipping Center will bring greater convenience to businesses or individuals wishing to send a package via the next available flight. The new facility will centralize handling of American's Priority Parcel Service, and in the future will handle additional express shipping products for American, American Eagle, and other partner airlines.

The facility will set a new standard in customer service among passenger airlines serving their customers' small package shipping needs. The Center will offer a convenient midfield location with easy, toll-free access from each direction. In addition, it will offer a climate-controlled animal care center, a large dock and ramp system for large vehicles, and expanded customer parking. The drive-thru lane will provide quick and easy service for small shipments, in addition to an expanded customer service area.
