D/FW Airport plans for international expansion

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport CEO Jeff Fegan says the airport is likely to add 26 new international destinations served by eight new airlines in the next five years

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport* * is planning for significant growth in international destinations in the coming decade, a change that could position it to be one of a few “global portals” in the world.
When it comes to international flying, D/FW Airport currently hosts 12 airlines that serve 48 international destinations.
Airport CEO Jeff Fegan said the airport’s projection for the most-likely growth scenario over the next five years includes adding 26 new international destinations served by eight new airlines. That includes direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Istanbul, Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, Istanbul, Lima, Quito, Bogota and other cities.
The low-growth scenario envisions 18 new international destinations served by six new airlines, while the high-growth scenario envisions 35 new international destinations served by 10 new airlines, Fegan said.
“These are all markets that we’ve had discussions with, or we’ve had indications from airlines, or from our outside experts that these are markets that can be supported,” Fegan told the D/FW Airport board of directors during a recent annual retreat.
Mike Boyd, aviation consultant and chairman of Boyd Group International, made a presentation to the board during its retreat. He described the industry as developing toward "global portals" that serve at least 80 or 90 international destinations, while also providing enough connectivity to domestic destinations to meet market demands.
“The idea that being a businessman coming from Shanghai, going to Sao Paulo, where is he going to connect? And how do you make enough connectivity to smaller markets? It’s called a global portal,” Boyd said.
Dubai, with 120 to 130 global destinations, is the world’s only global portal at present, Boyd said. But airports in the United States, particularly Houston, Atlanta and D/FW, are competing for the same kind of business in North America.
“You do have competition for global portals that are going to move people from one continent to another continent over a central spot,” Boyd told the D/FW Airport board. “That’s going to be the name of the game for the future.”

I do agree that, at least initially, the fantasy crack huffing international EGO carriers will barf capacity into pretty much every large US market. They have to because they need to put their insanely over ordered EGO planes somewhere.

Based on that rate of growth, they should be adding runways, just like STL and CVG. Even HSV sincerely thought, almost 10 years ago, that they would become a global leader in air cargo with plans for 4 parallel runways.

Also DFW has seven runways, all of which can be used simultaneously. The only thing they may need to add over the next ten years is another international terminal. Of course that will depend on AMR and their end state level of lift out of DFW after CH11 and a possible merger/fragmentation. The DFW airport does not want to have the end result what it is today; AMR with 85% of the lift out of the airport.

I'd be done as of saturday, but since I'm just under ALV, I'm on the hook for next week, too. Sheesh!

Don't worry. Research was done. It was discovered very few pilots actually come close to ALV. Oh yeah, the staffing formula has not changed. This will not require less pilots. You are an exception. Just over a year from now, you will be able to sit 7 short calls. No big deal though. Research was done on that too. Very few pilots actually sit 6 short calls in a month.
