OST-97-2527 | May 29, 1997

Answer of the Dallas/Fort Worth parties in Support of Application

HTML

Grant of DFW-Caracas authority would also promote intergateway competition and help close the gap between DFW and Houston as competitive mid-America gateways to Latin America. DFW is currently underserved to Latin America and has fallen behind Houston Intercontinental as a Latin America gateway. Overall Houston has nonstop service to 24 Latin America cities compared to 13 for DFW; significantly, to Mexico and Central America -- the countries in the Caribbean Basin --, Houston has nonstop service to 21 cities compared to only 10 for DFW. DFW-Caracas authority will help make the DFW gateway more competitive.
