Quoting Shamrock350 (Reply 2): I would have liked if it was Aer Lingus from DUB but they have just said they wont be announcing any new routes until October 2008 which is a shame. |
Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 3): Aer Lingus is freeing up an A330 from Dubai for summer to be used on US expansion. Miami, Dallas, and Philadelphia are the three cities being looked at, or they might just expand in a current market. |
Quoting FWFlyer (Thread starter): Any thoughts on what it might be? |
Quoting LAXdude1023 (Reply 7): Quoting NikonDFW (Reply 6): Most likely Jade Cargo starting DFW service next month. It will be a Shenzhen-Shanghai-Portland-Dallas v.v.-flown with 747-400ERF's. Is this new service for passenger or cargo service? |

Quoting Ssides (Reply 9): According to the Star-Telegram blog, the announcement will be made in Terminal D and is drawing the mayors of both Fort Worth and Dallas. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing (maybe a bit too hopefully) that it's (a) a new passenger destination, and (b) a new carrier. |

Quoting DFW13L (Reply 12): Today they have big cranes changing the signs that have all the airline logos. I looked to see what logo they were changing, but couldn't tell as I drove by at 60mph. If that sign change is related, then it would be a passenger airline, because this is just for passenger carriers. I'll drive by again later and see if I can tell. |
Quoting PanAm747 (Reply 18): We know how AA reacts when a new carrier tries to enter this market... |
Quoting ZuluLima (Reply 19): How about the chances of Virgin America/Atlantic. This press release is old, but I would assume the intentions haven't changed. |
Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 10): I think it's safe to say that it's not AA. If it was, it would have likely been leaked here already. AA is planning Dallas-Madrid, but not for this summer. |
Quoting ElmoTheHobo (Reply 21):
DFW-PTY wasn't leaked here until the day before. |
Quoting Bartond (Reply 23): And if they came wouldn't it be a 763, as they only bring a 763 to ATL and it has one or two (ha) Skyteam connections |
Quoting Tjwgrr (Reply 30): JL - NRT CX - HKG QF - SYD LA - SCL RJ - AMM |
Quoting Tjwgrr (Reply 30): JL - NRT CX - HKG QF - SYD LA - SCL RJ - AMM |
Quoting LACA773 (Reply 31): One important one that hasn't been mentioned is One World partner, Iberia. I see IB starting service MAD-DFW over the other partners mentioned here. Further, there has [had] been talk about re-introducing service to MAD and IB seems like it will be natural fit. |
Quoting Tjwgrr (Reply 30): QF - SYD |
Quoting Bartond (Reply 23): QF to SYD would be great but aren't they STILL going back and forth on buying new aircraft? |
Quoting Gemuser (Reply 33): Not until they get serious A380 & B787 deliveries, say 2009/2010. |
Quoting AAtakeMeAway (Reply 35): This is off topic, but since you mentioned it, do you foresee this rumored route being flown with a 772 or a 763 ? |
Quoting ZuluLima (Reply 36): Emirates switching from IAH or Aer Lingus are long-shots |
Quoting LAXdude1023 (Reply 41): QF- Not now, maybe somedays. |
Quoting Pbb152 (Reply 25): The DFW bigwigs were supposed to meet with reps from China Eastern last week to discuss pax service to DFW from PVG. Highly unlike they would announce the route so soon after, but who knows. |
Quoting Aaway (Reply 43): So, no to MU/DFW - at least now. I'd suggest new European service this time. |
Quoting LAXdude1023 (Reply 41): JL- Didnt they used to fly to DFW? But AA flies DFW-NRT 2x daily. That should cover that route sufficiently. |
Quoting Mikey711MN (Reply 45): Maybe it'll be NW (DFW-AMS or DFW-NRT) in response to AE's expansion of LGA-(Heartland). |
Quoting LAXdude1023 (Reply 44): When is the announcement to be made? |
Quoting BigGSFO (Reply 46): Maybe JAL will come back and AA can reduce DFW-NRT to 1X (code share with JAL on their non-stop). DFW still gets 2 dailies to Tokyo and AA frees up 2 777's for expansion elsewhere. |
