American Airlines Solidifies Leadership Position in Miami and Adds New Nonstop Boston to London Service
30 Setembro 2019 - 10:05AM
Whether across the pond or across the equator, American Airlines
continues to strengthen its network to give customers more travel
options than ever before. Today American announced plans to grow
its international network with new and increased service:
- Increased service from Miami (MIA) to: º Lima, Peru
(LIM), beginning April 7 º Santiago, Chile (SCL),
beginning winter 2020 º São Paulo (GRU), beginning
winter 2020
- New daily service from Boston (BOS) to London Heathrow (LHR)
beginning March 29
- Extended service to key European destinations including Rome
(FCO), Dublin (DUB) and Barcelona, Spain (BCN)
All new routes are subject to government approval. Flights will
be available for purchase Oct. 7, with the exception of GRU and
SCL, which will be available for purchase in December.
New opportunities in Latin America
This year, American celebrates 30 years serving MIA, and now has
even more to celebrate with additional service to LIM, SCL and GRU
set to begin next year.
“American’s leading position in Miami is something we’re
incredibly proud of and committed to maintaining,” said Vasu Raja,
American’s Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning. “We
have so many possibilities from our Latin American gateway and are
excited for the opportunity to use our domestic strength to enhance
our international network. We’ll continue to grow, compete and
thrive in a region of the world where we have a long history and a
bright future.”
“American Airlines is Miami’s hometown airline and we appreciate
their dedication to Miami-Dade County with more flight options for
local residents to see the world, and more opportunities to welcome
customers to our great county,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos
A. Gimenez.
American currently operates two daily flights to LIM from MIA,
and next spring the airline will increase operations year-round to
three times a day on a Boeing 757, providing more service than any
other carrier to one of South America’s largest cities. And next
winter gets even warmer with an additional flight to Chile’s
capital, Santiago, and a third flight to Brazil’s largest city, São
Paulo. Both services will be operated on a 777-200.
The best schedule in Boston
When new American nonstop service from BOS to LHR launches next
year, customers will have access to a total of five daily flights
to choose from between American and joint business partner British
Airways.
“Our new nonstop flight, combined with the service provided by
our Atlantic Joint Business, gives customers the most robust
schedule and the most premium seats between Boston and London,”
Raja continued. “Boston customers have been asking for more service
and we’re delivering with this new flight, and our recently
announced seasonal service to Nassau and Grand
Cayman.”
American’s BOS to LHR flight will be flown on a state-of-the-art
777-200, featuring 37 Flagship Business seats and 24 Premium
Economy seats. The new flight fits into the current British Airways
schedule with a peak evening departure (American Flight No. 108)
from BOS and adds a new morning departure from LHR (American Flight
No. 109). American and British Airways will have the most flights
between the two historic cities when flights begin next year.
Together, American and British Airways provide up to 71 flights
every day between the U.S. and London.
And there’s more good news for customers flying out of Boston,
as International Airline Group (IAG) subsidiary LEVEL will operate
three weekly flights from BOS to Paris Orly Airport (ORY) beginning
March 31. The Atlantic Joint Business continues to build a bigger
and better network next summer by adding an additional 125,000
seats per month across the Atlantic with six new routes, in
addition to the 12 routes already launched this year.
The new flight comes at an optimal time to build on the
investments American has made at BOS this year. In January the
airline co-located all mainline operations to a renovated portion
of the B terminal so that customers have access to one main ticket
lobby, a new baggage claim facility and a newly renovated Admiral’s
Club, particularly welcomed by the airline’s international Flagship
travelers. In addition, in June, American and Massport unveiled the
new Terminal B Great Hall, offering customers more convenience and
increased efficiency at the ticket counter and security.
Summer comes
early
American is also extending seasonal flying dates on some of the
most popular routes including service between New York (JFK) and
Rome (FCO); Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and Dublin (DUB); and Chicago
(ORD) and Barcelona (BCN). These routes will now operate a month
longer than their current schedule. Stay tuned for more seasonal
extensions in the coming weeks.
