Oneworld alliance airlines increase their presence in Dallas/Fort Worth

Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) is the main hub of American Airlines and the second busiest airport in the world, where in 2021 62,465,756 passengers and 1,006,122.6 tons of cargo were mobilized.

During the summer season, Oneworld airlines will increase their offer to Dallas (DFW) and will launch new services, promoting the recovery of international passenger traffic at the airport.

In Europe, Finnair inaugurated a new non-stop service from Helsinki (HEL) with four weekly flights on Airbus A350-900 and from June 1, Iberia will start its flights from Madrid (MAD) four times a week on Airbus A330-200. Dallas (DFW) is the first destination in Texas for both companies.
