History of Dallas Love Field
Dallas Love Field was commissioned on October 19, 1917, as a training base for the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I. The airport is named for Army Lieutenant Moss Lee Love, who perished during flight training. Lt. Love had no connection to Dallas, but it was the norm at the time to honor Army aviators who perished in flight.
After World War I, Love Field continued as a military air base until the City of Dallas purchased it in 1927, clearing the way for civilian use. Its first paved runways were completed in 1932 and commercial air service grew throughout the 1930s.
The airport played an extensive role for the military once again during the World War II years of the early 1940s and then saw expansive growth as a passenger airport during the post-war boom. By 1965, the airport had new terminals and its second parallel runway.
In 1964, the FAA mandated the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth come to an agreement to build a major airport to serve the entire DFW Metroplex. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport’s opening in 1974 came on the heels of Love Field’s busiest year to date in 1973 and was meant to effectively end passenger service at Love Field.
The airport saw its slowest year in 1974 and even opened an ice rink and video arcade as the Love Entertainment Complex to maintain revenue. Love Field appeared on its way to closure, but the founding of Southwest Airlines in 1971 continued to breathe life in to Love Field as the fledgling airline refused to move its operations to DFW Airport.
After a lengthy legal battle among multiple parties, the Wright Amendment was instituted to restrict the operations of passenger aircraft at Dallas Love Field to locations within Texas and the neighboring states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
The stifling regulations of the Wright Amendment remained law until an effort was begun to repeal it in 2005. Certain restrictions were lifted, and the entire Wright Amendment was allowed to expire on October 13, 2014.
Love Field immediately saw drastic passenger growth and today is the 31st-busiest airport in the United States and busiest medium-hub airport despite its federally mandated cap of 20 gates and barring of international travel. In 2018, Love Field surpassed 8 million enplaned passengers for the first time.

Wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to two employees at DAL today. We lost my son's blanket in the terminal and didn't realize until 5 hours later. When I returned to the airport to look for it these 2 guys spent 30 minutes looking for it and found it. They went above and beyond and so grateful to them!! Thank you!!!
Yesterday my wife and I came to Love Field to catch our return flight home to Atlanta. We were absolutely set back by the rudeness and overbearing attitude of TSA. Mind you now I said we're from Atlanta so we're used to rude people, especially TSA at Hartsfield International. We were completely caught off guard by it as everyone we had met in Texas was friendly and courteous. The attitude and treatment we received at Love Field was something we would have expected in Atlanta. While we had time to ask for a supervisor to air out our complaint, I opted not to as I'm not confident that we'd have gotten more than lip service. Oh well.
Attention Dallas area-

RUMOR: Is it true you removed a statue of Texas ranger?
Did you see this Dallas ❤️ field airport this from Xbox look 👇🏻 https://www.facebook.com/16547831022/posts/10158294770581023/?vh=e&d=n
So we took down the statue of the Texas Ranger because it was deemed "offensive" and replaced it with a rainbow pride monument. This is absolutely staggering. There is no middle ground left in the country. You could have replaced it with anything but instead went straight for the virtue signaling in order to placate rowdy masses. Congratulations.
Why doesn't Love Field, on their Facebook and Twitter page, post more about the history of Love Field? Maybe even post more about what is going on with the private FBOs? Include lots of pics? Maybe have a historical post, like, "In this day in Love Field history? "
It is pathetic that you kowtow to mob mentality so easily. I hope I never have to step foot in your garbage airport. I also hope law enforcement remember this if your airport is ever in need of them.
but by all means let's take down the statue.....
Meet Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, 1884-1955. Hamer lived an incredible life and is one of the most famous Texas Rangers ever. Frank Hamer was one of the handful of men who killed Bonnie and Clyde in 1934. What may be less known about Capt. Hamer is the work he did to stop violence against African Americans in Texas. Hamer is credited with saving 15 people from lynch mobs during his career. He also stood with other Rangers in the stairwell of the courthouse in Sherman in 1930 holding back a lynch mob, personally wounding two of the mob leaders, before the courthouse was set on fire. In reporting the removal of the iconic Texas Ranger statue at Love Field in Dallas this week, the Dallas media deceitfully report that Texas Rangers “drove away” from the riot in Sherman in 1930. That is a lie, and the kind of reporting that makes so many people distrust the media. Frank Hamer was not, nor were any of the Texas Rangers, perfect - like Lincoln, Washington, King, or any of us - but the knee jerk removal of that statue was wrong.
I will never step foot in this terminal until the Texas Rangers statue is put back in its proper place.
PUT TEXAS RANGER BACK UP... You will not stay in business this way!
