SYRACUSE, N.Y. — American Airlines on Wednesday started its service from Syracuse Hancock International Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
Initial estimates place the economic impact of this new service to the Central New York region at $16 million per year, the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) said in a Wednesday news release.
Passengers and crew were treated to a party near gate 9 of the airport, including balloons, cupcakes, and giveaways. The departing flight left at 7:10 a.m. and was given a ceremonial water cannon salute by Hancock’s airport rescue and firefighting (ARFF) team.
