- Airfares for flights out of Dallas Love Field and DFW are expected to increase this year, despite the lower fuel costs for airlines across the sector.
- Though the end of the protective Wright Amendment on October 13 brought in some promotional fares to Love Field, those deals are expected to fall by the wayside amid strong demand.
- DFW is the 3rd busiest airport in the U.S. and Love Field ranks in the top 40.
- Carriers impacted by the expected lift in Dallas fares include Virgin America (NASDAQ:VA), American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV), United Continental (NASDAQ:UAL), and private SeaPort Airlines.
