Southwest adds 15 daily flights at Dallas Love Field
Southwest Airlines plans to add 15 daily flights at its Dallas Love Field hub.
The expanded schedule sees new markets added and upgraded daily routes to Charleston, Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, Louisville, Milwaukee and Minneapolis, beginning in January 2019.
Southwest will also fly seasonally to Panama City, FL and on Sundays to Tucson AZ.
It is also adding more frequencies on several other existing routes which include Houston, San Antonio, Orlando and Los Angeles.
It will take its peak operation at DAL to 195 daily flights, which it says is made possible thanks to better operational efficiencies at the airport.
"Our current schedule optimization toolset is generating returns with every schedule publication, allowing Southwest to capitalize on minute-by-minute time savings and adjustments and to operate even more flights out of its gates at Love Field," the airline said.
Southwest operates 18 of the 20 gates at Love Field which is already close to full capacity.
The airline said none of the flights will operate out of the contentious Gate 15, which it shares with Delta Air Lines.
This arrangement with Delta is not a happy one and has been the subject of a long-running legal spat.
