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.

H.R. 5187 would have expanded the number of destinations reachable via direct flights from Love Field airport in Dallas, Texas, by adding Tennessee to the list of approved states for non-stop service. Under the proposed rules, airlines could provide these flights as long as they did not offer connecting tickets to other destinations outside of Tennessee or Texas. For travelers, this bill was intended to increase travel options and competition by allowing more direct, point-to-point flights between Dallas and Tennessee cities.
