New Law Makes St. Louis and Kansas City Southwest's First New Nonstop Routes From Love Field in 25 Years
DALLAS, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- President George W. Bush recently signed a transportation appropriations bill containing language that exempts Missouri from federal restrictions placed on Dallas' Love Field airport. This exemption now makes it possible for Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), the
signature carrier at Love Field, to initiate new nonstop jet service from
Dallas to its Missouri operations in Kansas City and St. Louis.
Southwest will start service to St. Louis and Kansas City from Dallas on
Dec. 13, 2005, with four daily nonstop flights to each city. The one-way fare
from Dallas to either city will be just $79 with 14-day advance purchase. The
unrestricted "walk-up" fare is just $129 each way, compared to fares as high
as $599 each way on American Airlines.
Not bad price at all, and thats quite a jump of 4 daily flights for each city. Looking to see what AA will do!
