Off topic, but is Love Field still governed by the Wright Amendment, or can they start taking on more domestic routes from non-contiguous states?
Wright Amendment is still in effect, but repeal is under active discussion.
Actually it is not off topic, if you'll notice I put it in the key words indexing this thread. Yes the Wright amendment is in place and allows nonstop flights only to US states contiguous to Texas plus Kansas and Mississippi. If the Wright amendment were repealed AA would have to operate some flights from DAL rather than DFW. Diverting traffic away from DFW would decrease the number of potential connections to international flights. DFW has considerably more international air service than the origin and destination traffic to and from the D/FW metroplex would warrant. It is only justifiable for DFW to have the level of international air service it has based on passengers connecting there from other cities. Those who wish to do away with the Wright amendment should be careful about what they ask for.
The Wright amendment was modified a few years ago to add a few additional states (Mississippi & Alabama), but that had little functional impact. (One of the senators from Alabama was behind the change. They gave him that to keep him from pushing for a full repeal.
Runways at LUV too short for a non stop to India, facilities not sufficient for a flight, connections not there either, it will be DFW or IAH.
