DFW Airport Gets Extra Clout for Cargo Routes

DALLAS-Lufthansa will make twice weekly direct flights to Mexico City and add one more to Frankfurt, a marketing boon for the 2.2 million sf of industrial going up on airport land.

DALLAS-Lufthansa Cargo is including two weekly direct freighter flights to Mexico City and adding a fourth weekly route to Frankfurt, Germany, building in additional marketing muscle for the record number of industrial developers mining the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport’s grounds. Although the extra flights didn’t precipitate construction, they open marketing doors for the 2.2 million sf of under construction space.

The carrier will add the Mexico City flights in January. “Direct service to and from Mexico City on Lufthansa Cargo strengthens DFW’s cargo business,” Joe Lopano, DFW’s executive vice president of marketing and terminal management, says in a press release issued this morning. “The very strong North Texas economy is fueling the market and robust cargo growth is bringing DFW more international service and opportunities for expansion.”
