WACO, TX — American Airlines announced it has opened 15 new gates in the Terminal E satellite at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) that will support more than 100 daily regional flights for American Eagle service.

Many of the flights between Waco Regional Airport (ACT) and DFW will now arrive and depart from the expanded Terminal E.

Later this summer, American will also open a new Admirals Club in Terminal E, and it will be home to DFW’s only in-airport Whataburger.

The completely renovated space includes refreshed ticket counters and gate areas as well as new ramp lighting, moving walkways, elevators and escalators.

“American is the largest airline in the world and the largest carrier at DFW,” said Vasu Raja, Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning for American. “By adding 100 flights to our most profitable hub, we have the opportunity to connect more people to more destinations than ever before. By adding service to new destinations and increasing service to some of our customers’ favorite spots, we’re building a connecting network that can get them anywhere.”
