DFW Regional Airport sponsored an Open House to celebrate completion of the airport on September 20, 1973. One of the star attractions was the first visit to the United States by a Supersonic Transport, Concorde 102. The Concorde was a test aircraft and carried Air France markings on the left side and British Airways markings on the right side.

Vought had the contract for the AirTrans system installed at DFW for the movement of people between the terminals. The automated system served the airport from 1974 - 2005.
