McKinney airport targets November terminal opening as four more routes are announced

McKinney National Airport’s passenger terminal remains scheduled to open November 11, according to a September 24 city announcement that also outlined four additional Avelo Airlines destinations.

The announced December additions are Atlanta and Denver starting December 16, followed by Nashville and New Orleans on December 17. These join previously announced November service to Fort Myers, Las Vegas, Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale.

The city said Atlanta and Denver service would run four times weekly, with Nashville and New Orleans twice weekly. Travelers should verify operating dates and availability directly with the airline before booking because the announcement describes planned service.

The airport uses the booking code DTX. The city also reported that the airport had received its FAA Airport Operating Certificate, another step toward commercial service.

For residents considering holiday travel, the practical next step is to compare actual flight dates and complete fares through the airline, rather than treating the terminal’s planned opening as a guarantee for every route.
