I spent Friday evening at the Afternooners restaurant at the airport. While we were there, a plane from Mesa was arriving and another was departing a little while later. I was very impressed at all the traffic at the airport. Honestly, I had no idea the airport was seeing that much busy! I hope the Dallas flights bring in more business!
