LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Travelers will soon be able to fly nonstop from Louisville to Dallas.
The Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) in Louisville announced Thursday that Southwest Airlines is resuming daily nonstop service to Dallas-Love Field beginning in October. Dallas is the seventh-most popular destination from SDF with an average of 450 people flying between the two cities each day.
“The positive momentum continues following our record-setting year at SDF,” said Dan Mann, executive director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority. “Thanks to this news from Southwest, they are strengthening their presence and investment in our market to give the region’s travelers even more options. This further solidifies what we believe will be another busy year at SDF.”
Southwest has offered weekend-only nonstop flights to DAL for over two years. Starting Oct. 3, everyday service will be available abord Boeing 737 aircraft with 143 or 175 seats.
Southwest serves 12 destinations from Louisville with 19 daily departing flights. Southwest also provides nonstop service to Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago-Midway, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Houston-Hobby, Las Vegas, Orlando, Phoenix and Tampa.
