Abstract:A change to the Wright Amendment will result in more service, more competition, lower
fares, and more traffic for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and the region. Travellers to
or from the Metroplex region will save an estimated $183 million per year in air fares. The
amount of additional service that can be provided at Love Field beyond the 214,000
annual operations today will be limited by airspace interactions caused by Love Field's
proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and the orientation of its runways in relation to
those at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. Safety will be maintained by FAA-imposed procedures,
and noise impacts on the region will continue to decline as older "Stage 2" aircraft are
phased out. Aircraft delays would become a significant problem only if operations reach
the unlikely level of 360,000 operations annually. Under all possible scenarios, Dallas-Fort
Worth Airport will continue to grow and remain the region's dominant airport.
