|
Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in 2006, the annual ASQ Awards |
|
|
recognize airports that have demonstrated exceptional customer |
|
|

|
WHEREAS, The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth joined |
|
|
together to open Dallas Fort Worth Regional Airport in 1974; with |
|
|
the addition of transnational flights, the facility was renamed |
|
|
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in 1985; over the |
|
|
succeeding years, the airport has continued to grow, |
|
|
establishing its own fire department, emergency medical |
|

|
|
the world to open its own emergency room in 2018; and |
|
|

|
|
DFW Airport spans around 30 square miles on more than 17,000 |
|
|
acres of land, serving passengers from 168 gates at 5 terminals; |
|
|
the airport has earned numerous accolades for its exceptional |
|
|
operations and customer service, and it received a $35 million |
|
|
grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to further its |
|
|
goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is |
|
|
indispensable to the transportation infrastructure of Texas, and |
|
|
its significant contributions to the Lone Star State and beyond |
|
|
make it a fitting recipient of this most recent honor; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
