American Eagle Adds a Third Flight From Dallas/Fort Worth To Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport

FORT WORTH, Texas – American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, will add a third daily nonstop flight between Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, beginning April 10. 

“The early morning departure and late evening arrival of the third flight to Dallas/Fort Worth is extremely advantageous for our business travelers and it also provides for a much broader connection opportunity to the west,” said Airport Authority Chairman Richard Matheny. 

“This additional flight indicates American Eagle’s recognition of the strong Gulf Coast Business Market and we thank American Eagle for their commitment,” said Airport Director Bruce Frallic. 

American Eagle will operate the third round trip with a 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145 jet.
