Contour Airlines Launches New Nonstop Flights from Muscle Shoals to Dallas-Fort Worth

Contour Airlines has announced exciting news for travelers in Northwest Alabama. Starting November 12, 2026, the airline will offer new nonstop service from Northwest Alabama Regional Airport (MSL), located in Muscle Shoals, directly to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). This development promises to enhance travel convenience for both business and leisure travelers in the region.

As part of this service expansion, Contour Airlines will modify its existing flight schedule by reallocating five weekly flights from the current Muscle Shoals–Charlotte route to this new Dallas-Fort Worth destination. Despite this transition, travelers will still enjoy daily nonstop flights to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), ensuring continued access to another vital travel hub.

The new MSL–DFW flight service will operate five times weekly, significantly improving accessibility to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. With this addition, passengers from Muscle Shoals can not only access a major metropolitan area but also take advantage of connecting flights to numerous other destinations around the country, thanks to DFW's status as a major hub in American Airlines' network.

Barry Griffith, Airport Director at Northwest Alabama Regional Airport, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “Dallas–Fort Worth is a highly sought-after nonstop destination for local travelers, and Muscle Shoals is pleased to offer this new service.” He indicated that this route is expected to boost passenger traffic, facilitate seamless connections with American Airlines, and provide economic benefits for the region.

Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines, echoed these sentiments, highlighting that the new service brings an important travel option to the Shoals community. “This new service gives the community another convenient way to reach a major U.S. market and connect onward to destinations throughout the country,” he remarked, appreciating the local support that has made this expansion possible.
