Daily, nonstop flights from Appleton International Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport start June 6.
This is the second nonstop route expansion launched by the Appleton Airport this year. Airport officials say they have been working on this route expansion for almost a decade.
“This is the No. 1 destination travelers and business leaders have asked for,” said Abe Weber, Appleton airport director. “Being able to offer nonstop flights to major hubs like Dallas/Fort Worth only positions the Fox Cities as a progressive location for business and future economic development.”
Weber said when airlines expand routes it requires a major investment in technology, equipment, planes, and support staff, especially for daily service. With this added route, people traveling through Appleton will be linked to major markets across the country and the world
“American is thrilled to begin the only nonstop service from ATW to Texas, linking Northeastern Wisconsin to our hub at DFW where we’ll operate more than 925 peak-day flights to more than 230 destinations this summer,” said Joe Sottile, American Airlines Director of Domestic and Short-Haul International Network Planning. “When combined with now-year-round service to our CLT hub and our longstanding service to ORD, American is excited to offer convenient connectivity for ATW travelers to destinations across the U.S. and around the world on our comprehensive global network.”
American Airlines continues to heavily invest in Appleton with 58% more flights and 46% more seats year over year. The Appleton Airport is served by American, Delta, United and Allegiant airlines. In 2023, a nonstop route to Portland was added; in 2024 nonstop flights to New York (EWR), and Dallas (DFW) were added.
