DALLAS — DFW International Airport is now flying to more destinations nonstop than any other airport in the country, a title it held briefly before the pandemic and that it has run away with as the Sun Belt becomes the dominant air travel corridor.
Carriers, including Fort Worth-based American Airlines, are flying to 239 total destinations from DFW in September, more than the 232 at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, the longtime leader in connections in the U.S. American flies to 220 destinations from DFW alone, the airline said.
The world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Denver International Airport have service to 208 cities, according to flight schedule data from Diio by Cirium. Dallas Love Field, which is serviced primarily by Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, has 67 nonstop routes in the United States.
