Thread: SWA Likely to Expand in DAL Next Winter

Southwest Airlines passengers in ICT will likely get a boost when the last of the Wright Amendment restrictions end in 2014.
The federal law puts limits on nonstop flights from DAL but those limits are set to expire Oct. 16, 2014.
“We obviously know it’s coming, and we are very excited about it,” said Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz. “It is big news for Southwest Airlines.”
The end of the limitations will allow Southwest and other carriers flying from Dallas Love Field to fly nonstop anywhere in the continental United States. That will open up more nonstop destinations from Dallas, Mainz said.
And it should provide Wichita travelers who fly to Dallas more options for connecting service, he said.
