Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The DFW metro’s shift to include a third scheduled passenger airport (McKinney) changes airline network assumptions around connectivity, pricing and catchment-area demand.
  • Avelo’s immediate launch footprint—five routes from McKinney in autumn—signals targeted low-cost competition into Florida leisure markets.
  • American’s Naples–Charlotte relaunch on Dec. 2, 2026 (resuming service after 25 years) highlights how schedule planning is enabling long-idle secondary airports to re-enter mainstream network strategy.
