DALLAS—The law expiration is drawing more corporate users seeking proximity to the airport and executive housing communities such as Bluffview and Preston Hollow. According to Buchanan Street Partners, Dallas Love Field experienced an 87% increase in passenger traffic year-over-year in September 2015. This increased activity followed the October 2014 expiration of the Wright Amendment, a 1979 federal law that limited long‑haul flights out of the airport.
