DAL Dallas

How deep the DAL board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from DAL. This reads the same 190 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 112of the 190 destinations are flown by one airline
• 119destinations run less than once a day
• 24destinations have four or more departures a day
• 35.3%of the destinations name Southwest Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at DAL

60 airlines appear on the DAL board and they do not hold it evenly. Southwest Airlines is on 67 of the 190 destinations, 35.3 per cent of them, and on 26 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 226.7 of the 272.1 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is NetJets Aviation on 65 destinations. 28 of the 60 airlines at DAL appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at DAL: one airline on 35.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 64.7 per cent spread across 59 airlines. A cancellation inside the Southwest Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 123 destinations Southwest Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the DAL board is daily

Of the 190 destinations, 71 are flown at least once a day and 119 are not, 62 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the DAL board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: DAL to West Palm Beach (PBI) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 54 of the 272.1 departures a day, 19.8 per cent of the whole board. With 62.6 per cent of the 190 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of DAL where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 79 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from DAL

The desk holds the return direction for 44 of the 190 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into DAL runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Phoenix (PHX) at 7.1 out a day against 0.14 back, Minneapolis (MSP) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back and Columbus (CMH) at 2.3 out a day against 1.7 back.

It runs the other way as well: Memphis (MEM) files 2.6 a day back into DAL against 1.4 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at DAL

DAL keeps America/Chicago time, nine hours behind Dubai in summer and ten hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 00:00 at DAL, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

Where DAL turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the United States country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 18 airport pair pages that start or end at DAL, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Dallas to Houston (HOU), Dallas to Las Vegas (LAS) and Dallas to Nashville (BNA).

Twelve courier postings name DAL as the airport a courier here flies from: Fort Worth, Plano and Waco.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with DAL already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 190 destinations above.
