American Airlines Planning to Fly DFW-UIO

Post new topic

BobH

From the Dallas Morning News:

American Airlines is seeking permission to fly between Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Quito, Ecuador.

In an application filed with the U.S. Department of Transportation, American said it plans to operate the service beginning Dec. 18 with five round trips a week.

Although American flies to Quito from its Miami hub, the new flight would mark the first Quito flights from American’s largest hub at D/FW Airport.


The article says that "the U.S.-Ecuador air treaty has 48 weekly flights available to U.S. carriers that haven’t been allocated."

Good.

Anything has to be better than the clown show that is flying Houston --> S. America, and return.

Because every living human being who goes south of the border is a drug dealer, mmkay?

God I hate IAH.

On my many former trips to Panama I often had to endure a German Shepard on the jetway sticking its nose in my crotch sniffing for money, according to the armed agent whom I hoped did not inadvertently give the "attack" signal.  This was in DFW.

Don't let that deter you from buying a seat on one of the first Fort Worth area to Quito flights as soon as the FAA green-lights them.

American got their approval.

http://aviationblog.dallasnews.com/2015 … ador.html/

The U.S. Department of Transportation this week approved the request of American Airlines for authority to fly between Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Quito, Ecuador, its first nonstop service between D/FW and Ecuador.

DOT required American to begin its five flights a week within 10 days of American’s planned startup date, Dec. 18.


Ecuador's approval is still needed.

DFW forecast for this week (week including July 4th)...highs in the mid 90s all week.

Howdy, Texans, hot enough for ya?

Don't wait for Ecuador to approve those flights that start in December.  Come on down now!  Quito welcomes you.
