Starting with the biggest price tag, the Fort Worth Convention Center is expected to finish its $400 million expansion by 2026.

Throughout north and central Arlington, the city is working with developers to plant new class A office space and high-rise multifamily development. Mayor Jim Ross spoke with the Dallas Business Journal about how Arlington is aiming to attract development and businesses and create its own skyline.There has not been much office development in the city over the last 25 years, he said, but in order to attract businesses to the area new class A space needs to come up. “While we’ve been in that sleepy bedroom community, we’ve learned how to develop relationships with folks,” he said. “The Rangers came here 50 years ago. They never left.” Having a thriving entertainment scene will also help attract new businesses to the community.

Currently located in New York City, the OneWorld global headquarters will move to Fort Worth effective December 2022, joining American on its 300-acre, state-of-the art Robert L. Crandall Campus adjacent to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). American’s campus, dubbed Skyview, is home to the airline’s Flight Academy, DFW Reservations Center, Robert W. Baker Integrated Operations Center, Training and Conference Center, and CR Smith Museum, as well as an office complex that houses the airline’s leadership and support staff.

Oneworld has been based in New York City since 2011, following a move from Vancouver where the alliance’s central management team was based after the launch of the alliance in 1999. Co-locating with founding member American Airlines, the largest airline in the world, will further accelerate the alliance’s drive to deliver greater value for its member airlines and customers.

The oneworld central management team will continue to be led by Rob Gurney, who was appointed as CEO in 2016. Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest growing hubs in the oneworld network, offering nearly 900 daily flights to more than 260 destinations. In addition to being American’s largest hub, DFW is served by seven other oneworld members: Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Qatar Airways and Qantas. Both Finnair and Iberia launched new service to DFW in the past year, leveraging the strength of American’s network at its largest hub. Oneworld’s new headquarters in Fort Worth will also enable the alliance to tap into the significant aviation talent pool in the Lone Star State. Ranked as the U.S. state with the most air transportation jobs, Texas is home to one of the largest aerospace and aviation labour forces in the country. American has more than 30,000 team members in North Texas and is proud to have employees from several other oneworld carriers based at its Fort Worth campus.

Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport has been named one of the top 20 U.S. cargo airports ranked by the Federal Aviation Administration. Moving up three spots in the rankings, Alliance Airport landed more than 2.4 billion pounds in 2021, a volume increase of 45.75% from the previous year. “This recognition reinforces the incredible growth and demand we have experienced at the airport over the past five years,” said Christian Childs, president of Alliance Aviation companies at Hillwood. “The airport plays a critical role in our national security efforts and in ensuring Americans have access to essential household goods.” According to the airport’s operations data for 2021, Alliance Airport experienced a 43% year-over-year volume increase in cargo transported. The airport reported 789,429,648 pounds of cargo enplaning and deplaning in 2021, compared to 550,762,202 pounds in 2020.This growth stems from a variety of factors, including increased efficiencies and lower operating costs, a dramatic shift in consumer behavior and an increase in e-commerce shipping activity.
