The Case for Repeal

After 27 years, the Wright Amendment is an anti-competitive relic. Once passed as a federal law designed to protect a fledgling DFW International Airport, it has clearly out-served its purpose. It now deprives the people of Texas from enjoying the wide variety of low fares that other cities take for granted. Southwest prides itself on being the premier low-fare carrier, giving people across America the "Freedom to Fly." Southwest Airlines revolutionized the airline industry by giving millions of Americans access to affordable air travel through its cornerstone of everyday low fares.

Southwest Airlines is a Company of proud Americans, being profitable for the past 33 years, and it is the only consistently profitable carrier since 9/11. We were founded on the premise that all Americans deserve the ability to enjoy affordable air fares, no matter where they fly. Southwest Airlines believed in giving you this freedom in 1967, and 39 years of court battles, blatant anti-competitive maneuvers, criminal charges against those seeking to prevent Southwest’s service, protectionist congressional legislation, and name-calling has not dimmed Southwest's passion for North Texas and those who visit our area. We will not give up on you now! North Texas deserves affordable air travel and a choice of airports. It's time to recognize Southwest's determination to provide affordable air service to all Americans instead of forcing it to fly with one wing tied behind its back. It's time to repeal the Wright Amendment!
