Every year, the world’s third-busiest and fastest-growing airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International, produces more than $31 billion in economic impact for the DFW region—hosting more than 60 million passengers a year, supporting more than 150,000 jobs and pumping $9 billion in payroll into the area’s economy. At our next Spotlight Series breakfast, led by Sean Donohue, chief executive officer of DFW International Airport, learn why international connectivity is critical to the economic viability and growth of the North Texas region.

As he leads a $2.7 billion terminal renewal and improvement program, Mr. Donohue will share his thoughts on the airport’s economic impact, its international service expansion plans and the future of airports as crucial links within the global city system.
