American Airlines has announced it will fundamentally change the way it does business at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) 

From April 2026; American Airline’s DFW operation will expand to a 13-bank structure, providing greater certainty to the airline’s average 100,000 peak daily customers travelling on over 930 average peak DFW daily departing flights.

As it looks to spread out its DFW flight schedule across the day; the operator also intends to spread out customer volume, including everything from local customers arriving in parking garages, checking in at lobbies and clearing security to connecting customers making their way through American’s terminals to their next flights.

Changes will include the modernisation of its facilities and airport terminals, including the addition of nine incremental gates at Terminal A and C via the construction of new piers; an expansion of its footprint with the new Terminal F; streamlining the overall security experience and reimagining traffic flow.
