Southwest is the main carrier at Love Field, and the airline’s headquarters is there, too. The airport, ringed by residential neighborhoods, is eight miles from downtown. Love Field was the region’s main airport until Dallas Fort Worth International Airport opened in 1974.

Dallas, Texas, is one of the largest cities in the United States, so it is no wonder it is home to frequent travelers. The city is home to over 1.3 million residents, making it the biggest city in the state of Texas. It is also directly next to Fort Worth, Texas, which also holds just under one million residents.

Southwest said a bullet struck the right side of the aircraft while the crew was preparing for departure for Indianapolis. The plane has since been removed from service.
