DFW International Airport is a major North American hub handling millions of passengers annually and shaping travel and cargo in Texas and beyond.
An American Airlines flight from Atlanta to Dallas landed safely at DFW after reports of a laptop catching fire mid-air. Four to five passengers sustained burns; crew contained the device and the plane taxied to the gate. FAA warns lithium batteries can overheat; some travelers received medical care after landing.
The Transportation Security Administration has launched Gateside by TSA PreCheck, allowing eligible PreCheck and other trusted-traveler members to apply one to three days in advance to pass through security and enter gate areas at 13 U.S. airports without a flight ticket. The pass is free, valid for one calendar day with re-entry, and the agency plans to expand the program.
