Southwest CEO Bob Jordan said the Love Field carrier is looking to expand North Texas flights, possibly at Dallas-Fort Worth as soon as 2025.

The Dallas-based airline is looking to expand beyond Love Field Airport into Dallas-Fort Worth International starting as early as 2025, CEO Bob Jordan said Wednesday.

Jordan said Southwest has talked with DFW officials and is exploring the potential for a “modest presence as they look at their facilities.” The carrier would like to operate out of DFW’s future Terminal F., which is being held at the Omni Fort Worth. The event features CEOs and senior executives from across the airline industry to discuss the future of aviation.

Andrew Watterson, Southwest’s chief operating officer, said the airline has evaluated all of the airports it could fly out of in North Texas. “DFW would be a complement to Love Field,” Watterson said. “We want to keep everything we have a Love Field, because it works, but it’s insufficient for our customer base in the Metroplex, which is quite large and many of them actually live closer to DFW.”“Airport infrastructure takes a while to develop,” Watterson said.
