DFW AIRPORT, Texas, Aug. 21, 2018 -- Customers at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport will fly nonstop to Dublin, Ireland and Munich, Germany, starting June 6, 2019, thanks to new service from American Airlines. With these flights, DFW Airport will provide its first ever nonstop service to Ireland, and its third daily nonstop flight to Germany.
"These new flights will advance DFW Airport's mission to bring more international passenger and cargo service to the Dallas Fort Worth region," said Sean Donohue, chief executive officer at DFW Airport. "DFW anticipates tremendous growth in the year ahead, and with nonstop service to Dublin and Munich we're offering two great new destinations, more travel choices, business connections and opportunities for tourism."
"We want to thank American Airlines, one of our city's largest employers, for adding to our repertoire of international flights out of DFW Airport, the fourth busiest airport in the nation," said Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price. "These additional flights to Dublin and Munich add to our ongoing efforts to promote tourism, expand economic opportunities and foster business relationships."
"The new flights will help the Dallas Fort Worth region continue to build on the great business relationships we have with Germany and Ireland, which are already our 9th and 12th biggest trading partners," said Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings. "These new flights are a testament to the strength of the Dallas Fort Worth business environment and an important economic gain for the region."
From Europe, customers can connect at DFW to more than 90 domestic destinations in the Midwest and western U.S., and more than 30 business and leisure markets throughout Canada and Latin America.
