DFW adds a 3rd daily LHR

[FA Mikey]

American Airlines Inc. plans to launch a third daily flight between Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and London Heathrow Airport on May 1, giving travelers an evening departure from North Texas and a mid-day arrival in London.

That same day, American will also launch nonstop service between D/FW Airport and Madrid, giving the Fort Worth-based carrier four European destinations from D/FW – Madrid, London, Paris and Frankfurt.

That and another from BOS. The downside is that ORD and LAX lose one LHR flight each.

Same number of flights per day - 11 - but with less seats due to use of 767

And fewer seat-miles due to shorter distances, but DFW-MAD will take up the slack.

That's the huge news here. Finally, DFW-MAD returns. My prediction is that AA begins flying to/from MAD from ORD and perhaps even LAX if the AA/BA/IB ATI is approved. Maybe even JFK. Perhaps BOS? Lotsa connections available at MAD, a huge, not-so-crowded, easy to transit hub airport.

And the current schedule still shows 18 daily flights to London (the 11 mentioned in the article plus seven others from JFK/MIA).

Have to agree with you, MAD is a nice facility. With IB in 1-world, I never quite fully understood why AA doesn't have more flights to MAD? ORD-MAD on AA in additon to MIA-MAD and the upcoming DFW-MAD would be nice.
I think IB has BOS-MAD covered as well as IAD-MAD.
