The city of Dallas asked a federal court Wednesday to tell it what to do in the battle over whether Delta Air Lines can continue to fly out of a Southwest Airlines gate at Dallas Love Field.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Dallas, the city also seeks guidance on the rights of other airlines that want to use Loves increasingly in-demand gates.
Mandates from two federal agencies under color of federal law and conflicting legal claims and litigation threats by several airlines under federal law have put the city in an impossible situation that only this court can resolve, the lawsuit states.
An impending July 6, 2015, deadline that may cause chaos at Love Field requires the city to file this action now, the suit states, citing the date when the Southwest-Delta gate arrangement ends.
The suit names Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines Co., Virgin America, American Airlines, United Airlines, SeaPort Airlines, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration as defendants.
