Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, also known by its codes DFW/KDFW, remains a significant hub for air travel, both domestic and international. According to data from Cirium Diio, the airport offered nonstop flights to approximately 260 airports worldwide in 2024. Of the total traffic, an overwhelming 81% was attributed to American Airlines and its regional partner, American Eagle, as highlighted by airport CEO Sean Donohue.

The airport facilitates a considerable amount of transit traffic. The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that of the round-trip passengers last year, around 52 million, or 59%, connected to another flight. This emphasizes the airport's role as a major transit point, with approximately 35 million round-trip passengers being local, the majority of which were domestic.

Los Angeles emerged as the top destination with 2.28 million round-trip passengers, propelled by connecting traffic. Airlines such as American, Delta, Frontier, and Spirit accounted for up to 22 daily departures and filled 87% of seats, demonstrating robust demand. American notably deployed aircraft like the 777-200ER, 777-300ER, 787-8, and 787-9 on this route.

Local traffic patterns reveal New York LaGuardia as the most prominent point-to-point market, with 73% of its traffic classified as local. American Airlines handles a significant share of this market, supported by Delta and Spirit. Nonstop flights are particularly prevalent, with over 90% of passengers in major markets traveling without connecting flights. For instance, the nonstop percentage on the Los Angeles route increased from 80% in 2000 to 96% last year.

In the second quarter of 2025, New York LaGuardia is expected to see a notable increase in departures, indicating its growing importance in the local landscape. The competitive environment among carriers such as American, Delta, Frontier, and Spirit, coupled with the prevalent use of narrowbody aircraft like the Boeing 737-800, continues to shape the services offered to travelers connecting through or departing from Dallas/Fort Worth.
