SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – City leaders say Sioux City will add a direct flight to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The Sioux City Journal reports that beginning May 5th, American Airlines will provide flights from the Sioux Gateway Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth. City officials announced the new, non-stop flights during a Friday news conference.

One daily flight will be offered that include departures from Dallas/Fort Worth at 12:20 p.m. and return trips from Sioux City leaving at 3:12 p.m. Tickets will go on sale Saturday.  American is the only carrier at the Sioux Gateway and currently offers two daily flights to the Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Sioux City has not had a direct flight to a western hub since October 2014.
