DALLAS/FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF 24/7 NEWS) – The addition of a new international airline flying in and out of DFW airport will have a big impact on the North Texas economy.
DFW Airport CEO Sean Donohue says right now, Etihad Airways only flies into the Metroplex three days a week…
"When they go to daily service in April, it will generate $200 million dollars annually to the local region. So, it has a major economic impact."
He says some of that impact will be jobs, most of it will be tourism and people spending money in North Texas.
