西南航空表态不飞麦金尼新机场：达拉斯第三机场11月中旬迎客、仅阿韦洛执飞
得克萨斯州达拉斯县达拉斯市消息：西南航空首席执行官鲍勃·乔丹10月31日表示，西南航空不会在达拉斯第三座机场——麦金尼国家机场运营航班。他对WFAA表示，该机场「数字算不过来」，不符合公司的运营规划。
麦金尼国家机场位于达拉斯市中心以北约30英里处，原为通用航空机场。2025年该市批准了7,200万美元的商业客运航站楼建设，航站楼建在机场东侧、设4个登机口，计划从11月中旬起接待商业客运旅客，这将是得克萨斯州20多年来最新的商业机场。
西南航空目前在达拉斯爱田机场运营200多个每日航班、年旅客量超过600万人次，且在达拉斯—沃斯堡国际机场没有运营。乔丹表示，爱田机场的现有需求已超出当前规模。
在可预见的未来，麦金尼机场将只有阿韦洛航空一家商业运营商：阿韦洛将于11月11日以飞往迈尔斯堡的首航开启运营，计划共执飞11条休闲市场航线。麦金尼机场将作为达拉斯北部郊区的替代门户，服务北部郊区旅客。

Southwest Says It Will Not Fly to McKinney: Dallas's Third Airport Opens in Mid-November With Avelo as Its Only Airline
Dallas, Dallas County, Texas: Southwest Airlines chief executive Bob Jordan said on October 31 that Southwest will not operate flights at McKinney National Airport, Dallas's third airport, telling WFAA the numbers 'didn't really work' and the airport does not fit the airline's operational plan.
McKinney National Airport, about 30 miles north of downtown Dallas, was originally a general aviation airport. In 2025 the city approved a $72 million commercial passenger terminal, built on the airport's east side with four gates, and the airport is set to welcome commercial passengers from mid-November, becoming Texas's newest commercial airport in more than 20 years.
Southwest currently operates more than 200 daily flights and over six million passengers a year from Dallas Love Field, and has no operations at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Jordan said demand at Love Field already outpaces the airport's current footprint.
For the foreseeable future, McKinney's only commercial operator will be Avelo Airlines, which begins service on November 11 with a first flight to Fort Myers and plans 11 leisure-market routes. The airport will serve as an alternative gateway for travelers in Dallas's northern suburbs.
