M2mobi helps DFW Airport to become first U.S. airport to launch Apple Watch App

Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport has released an Apple Watch app, becoming the first U.S. airport to support the Apple Watch platform. The DFW Apple Watch app, launched together with an upgraded version of the DFW Mobile App, provides flight information and notifications on the Apple Watch after it is synced with the DFW Mobile App on a smartphone. The DFW Mobile App, developed by M2mobi, also received an update that features six additional languages including Korean, Portuguese, Japanese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
