Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport | Official Website

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a vital transportation hub for the North Texas region, is where American Airlines holds the largest hub position, which is noted as the second-largest single airline hub globally. Last year, nearly 88 million passengers navigated through the airport with over 740,000 aircraft movements recorded.

American Airlines serves several hundred flights from DFW daily, connecting to an expansive network both domestically and internationally. In contrast, Frontier Airlines regards DFW as one of its 15 major operating bases. The airline operates scheduled flights to more than 120 destinations across the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.

According to the aviation analytics company Cirium, both American and Frontier Airlines run similar routes from DFW, differing primarily in flight frequency. A comparison of both airlines shows that for March, Frontier is scheduled to operate 819 departures offering about 173,860 seats and nearly 168 million available seat miles (ASMs). American Airlines, on the other hand, will be operating 7,071 departures, providing nearly 1.28 million seats and 1.33 billion ASMs.

Highlights regarding Frontier Airlines' top route frequencies from DFW include 89 flights to Denver, 65 to Las Vegas, 60 to Phoenix, 53 to Orlando, and 47 to Atlanta, deploying Airbus A320 family aircraft. "Soon, Frontier will increase its departures out of Atlanta Airport by 40% year-on-year,” signaling its expansion strategy.

For American Airlines, prime routes from DFW include 435 flights to Phoenix, 427 to Los Angeles, 385 to Las Vegas, 359 to Miami, and 337 to LaGuardia. American’s fleet includes a mix of narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, notably the A321 and Boeing 737-800.

Comparatively, in the common routes of Phoenix and Las Vegas, Frontier operates just 14% and 17% respectively of what American Airlines operates. The latter also utilizes widebody aircraft, enhancing capacity and seat quality.

On other key routes, Frontier offers single daily departures to cities like Houston, Los Angeles, and Chicago O’Hare, whereas American operates significantly more frequencies.

Specific to longer routes, Frontier conducts 40 departures to Seattle, Boston, and San Francisco this month. American Airlines, however, handles a total of 712 departures on these same routes, underscoring its high-frequency presence.

In terms of innovation and passenger experience, American Airlines offers enhanced seating and connectivity options, such as ViaSat KA-band satellite WiFi and in-flight entertainment streaming to personal devices.
