Fort Worth Star-Telegram: New study rebuts Emirates’ claim of increasing traffic at DFW
“The entry of Emirates airline at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport did not get more passengers to fly from North Texas to the Middle East, India and Africa, a new study says.
Instead, in the first year of Emirates service at DFW in 2012, bookings on U.S. and partner carriers to these far-flung destinations dropped 7.6 percent, says the study from the Partnership for Open and Fair Skies, an industry lobbying group supported by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.”
