   CELEBRATING THE NEWLY LAUNCHED DFW-HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI FLIGHTS

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the launch of 
two new flagship routes at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, 
which I represent. Today, American Airlines opens direct service from 
DFW to both Hong Kong and Shanghai.
  These new flights are the latest additions to the growing 
international hub at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Hong Kong and Shanghai 
join an impressive list of other newly launched international flights 
from DFW, including Bogota, Dubai, Lima, Seoul, and Sydney.
  Many businesses have operations in my district because of the easy 
access to direct flights from DFW. These new flights will promote 
further business development and make it easier for my constituents to 
travel to Asia and across the world. More good news will come next 
month as DFW will soon add a direct flight to Doha.
  My sincere congratulations to everyone at the Dallas/Fort Worth 
International Airport.
