In the latest episode of Forever Forward℠ at DFW, hear from American's Chief Operating Officer David Seymour as he explains how the airline's reimagined flight schedule at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is creating a more seamless and consistent experience for customers and team members. With greater certainty to schedules and connections and improved resilience during disruptions like severe weather, the latest enhancements at DFW benefit American's entire network.
Just two weeks since it launched, American's new 13-bank schedule is delivering strong results for the customers traveling to, through and from DFW - which has a ripple effect across the entire airline:
Banks - or the concentration of arrivals and departures throughout the operating day - are the busiest periods at an airport. American recently spread out the same number of flights, customers and bags across more peaks, or banks.
Forever Forward℠ at DFW is American's new shortform video series that takes viewers behind the scenes of the multiyear modernization across DFW. As American's hometown airport and largest hub, DFW hosts more passengers than any other airport in the airline's network. American is investing billions of dollars to modernize and strengthen its flagship hub, delivering a much smoother experience for the airline's customers and team members, providing more certainty with their schedules and connections, and improving DFW's resilience to handle severe weather and other disruptions.
Forever Forward℠ at DFW showcases the exciting updates customers will see over the next several years and is part of American's long-standing commitment to Texas and the many communities in the airline's network, bringing customers along as milestones land.
