American Eagle Airlines begins nonstop jet service between Lake Charles and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on June 11. The airline will offer flights twice daily, departing from Lake Charles at 7:20 a.m. and 2:55 p.m. Return flights leave Dallas/Fort Worth at 1:15 p.m. and 6 p.m. American Eagle President and CEO Peter Bowler says the new service gives Southwest Louisiana businesspeople the option of taking a quick day trip to Dallas or connecting to a number of other major cities. Hiram DuRousseau II, president of the Airport Authority in Calcasieu Parish, says Dallas is the top destination for Lake Charles Regional Airport. “Southwest Louisiana serves as a critical transportation hub, and American Eagle’s new flights will bring more choices and opportunity for economic growth,” says Rep. Charles Boustany. “It is an important recognition of the good work going on in Lake Charles.”
