The world's largest carrier, American Airlines, is to start daily direct flights from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW/KDFW) to Brisbane (BNE/YBBN) for the very first time, from the 27th of October 2024.
The Government's Attracting Aviation Investment Fund helped secure the flights, up to 62,000 international visitors, and $113 million over three years and expected to create up to 690 Queensland jobs. American Airlines will fly into Brisbane with a daily service in a major coup for attracting visitors to Queensland from the massive North American market.
The service will bring 141,000 seats into Queensland over three years, filled by a forecast 62,000 international visitors, who will spend up to $113 million. Among them will be US students, who represent the tenth largest international student cohort in Queensland, but those numbers have dropped since COVID. The new American Airlines flights, will be serviced by their 244-seat B787-900,
"This is a massive coup for Queensland as we continue to rebuild international tourism after the COVID downturn, opening up the state to the lucrative North American market during the peak winter period.
"This new American Airlines service also opens up so many new opportunities for Queensland businesses, both in Texas and across parts of the eastern and southern United States.
"Dallas Fort Worth is one of the top 5 largest and busiest airports in the world and its metroplex is home to 24 fortune 500 company headquarters."
