DFW: the hub that works for the American carrier
American Airlines Senior DFW Hub Operations Vice President told the local news reporters.
American set a new standard for operational reliability in 2023; that track record is the foundation that allows us to grow to historic levels this summer.
By putting the customer at the center of everything we do, we’re running the best operation in our history. And none of this would be possible without our 25,000 DFW-based team members who are the driving force behind our success.
