In the latest episode of Forever Forward℠ at DFW, American’s Chief Commercial Officer Nat Pieper discusses the importance of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to American’s broader network and the investments the airline is making to further strengthen its largest and most connected hub.

DFW — a connection machine — has an outsized impact on the rest of the airline’s operation and on the journeys of the nearly 700,000 customers the airline serves every day across its global network. More customers and more bags travel and connect through DFW every day than any other airport in American’s network — with more than 30% of all daily connecting customers and daily connecting checked bags traveling through the airline’s hometown airport.
