Hello everyone, just have a quick question in light of the ATC schedule tomorrow which will be featuring KDAL.
I would like to use a widebody for a long haul out or in to KDAL, however currently the gate structure doesn’t allow for such planes to park.
There is precedent for this however–back when Love Field was the main airport in Dallas (pre DFW days) Braniff, American and Delta all flew the 747 into Love Field.
Interesting fact- I didn’t know DAL served heavies back in the day- but sadly you kind of make my point here- DAL served widebodies before DFW was around, and now that it is around, widebodies do not fly into DAL. This is why I believe that you won’t be able to fly any widebody long hauls, as DAL no longer has the ability to handle them. You most certainly can fly narrowbody long hauls as talked about earlier with the CCX or BBJ.
Please do not fly any long hauls into KDAL, unless it’s a private aircraft. There are no parking spots capable of handling one. No bigger than a 757 comes here regularly.
