County News The world’s largest air carrier, American Airlines, will begin daily, non-
stop service between San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP)
and its Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW) hub on April 2,
2019. “More passengers are flying local because we’re providing so
many opportunities to effortlessly get anywhere in the world,” said Kevin
Bumen, Director of Airports. “With this flight, we’re not just getting con-
nections to the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex—although that in itself is
huge. We’re also getting 89 additional connections through one of the
busiest airports in the country. The airport and its partners work relent-
lessly to provide new connections through powerful airline networks,
and the results are really starting to accumulate. In one stop, you can
now get to Belize, Beijing or Boston, Lima or Rome or Wichita. All from
San Luis Obispo. It’s incredible.” The announcement continues the im-
pressive growth trend at San Luis Obispo Airport. SBP was recently
named one of the fastest-growing airports in North America, registering
a 23.4% passenger increase from 2016 to 2017. In total, the airport
has virtually doubled its passenger numbers over the last five years.
