20 New Routes for Summer 2020
22 November 2019 - 1:00AM
American Airlines customers will have a lot to be thankful for as
the airline plans to launch an additional eight new domestic routes
this summer, offering customers a total of 20 new seasonal routes
in summer 2020. The new routes include service to Martha’s Vineyard
(MVY) and Nantucket (ACK) in Massachusetts and new service from
Jackson, Mississippi (JAN) and Des Moines, Iowa (DSM) to Miami
(MIA), the airline’s gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean.
“Every year, we evaluate our network and look to create more
routes and serve unique destinations whether we’re entering new
markets like Casablanca or adding more service to places like
Traverse City, Michigan,” said Vasu Raja, American’s Senior Vice
President of Network Strategy. “We continue to deliver the best
network with the most options for our customers domestically and
internationally during the most popular vacation time of the
year.”
Domestic additionsBeginning in June, American
will add two new ways to get to the lighthouses and sandy beaches
of Martha’s Vineyard from two connecting hubs on the East Coast —
Philadelphia (PHL) and Charlotte (CLT). The airline will also
introduce a new route to the cobblestone streets of Nantucket with
Saturday service from PHL. All three flights will be operated on an
Embraer 175, featuring 12 First Class seats and 64 Main Cabin
seats. Next summer, Traverse City (TVC) will see direct service
from PHL and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA),
giving customers access to the shores of Lake Michigan’s Grand
Traverse Bay every Saturday. The airline will also introduce new
Saturday service from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to the waterfront
city of Portland, Maine (PWM) operated on an Airbus 319
aircraft.
MIA is American’s gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean,
and, next summer, customers flying from JAN and DSM will have
nonstop service to MIA on Saturday and Sunday from June through
August. Flight times will complement one-stop connections to
vacation favorites like Bonaire, St. Vincent, and Montego Bay,
Jamaica.
American previously announced seasonal service to National Parks
in Kalispell (FCA) and Bozeman (BZN), Montana, and increased
service to Alaska, including a new destination, Fairbanks (FAI),
which will begin operating in May.
A summer overseasIn August, American announced
an international expansion that includes entering Africa for
the first time with service to Casablanca, Morocco (CMN), from PHL
and seasonal service from Chicago (ORD) to Krakow, Poland (KRK);
Prague, Czech Republic (PRG); and Budapest, Hungary (BUD). American
will be the only US carrier providing service to KRK, BUD and PRG
from ORD.
“Our future is bright, and we see summer 2020 as an opportunity
for growth in the leisure destinations our customers truly value,”
Raja continued. “We have 20 new seasonal routes to choose from —
narrowing down where to go will be the hardest part.”
New flights will be available for purchase Nov. 25.
