|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was | ||
| recognized by Airports Council International with a 2022 ASQ Award; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established in 2006, the annual ASQ Awards recognize | ||
| airports that have demonstrated exceptional customer service based | ||
| on survey data; in 2022, DFW Airport was honored as one of the best | ||
| airports in North America serving over 40 million passengers per | ||
| year; and | ||
| 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 services, and police force, and it | ||
| became the first airport in the world to open its own emergency room | ||
| in 2018; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Located halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, 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 88th Texas Legislature | ||
| hereby congratulate Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on | ||
| receiving a 2022 ASQ Award from Airports Council International and | ||
| extend to all those associated with the airport sincere best wishes | ||
| for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for DFW Airport as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
