To amend the International Air Transportation Competition Act of 1979 to modify restrictions on the provisions of air transportation to and from Love Field, Texas.
Summary
This bill proposed to expand the list of states allowed to have direct flights to and from Love Field airport in Dallas, Texas, by adding Tennessee to the authorized list. At the time, federal law (the Wright Amendment) restricted most long-haul flights from Love Field to a small group of neighboring states to encourage traffic at the newer Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. If passed, this legislation would have allowed travelers to fly directly between Tennessee and Love Field, provided the flights did not offer connecting tickets to destinations outside of those two states.
