"As we celebrate our 25th anniversary in Colombia we are very excited to provide
customers with new service to Barranquilla, a favorite destination
for tourists and business travelers alike," said Art Torno, senior vice president – Mexico, Caribbean and Latin
America. "This new destination in Colombia and five new routes reinforce
American's commitment to serving Latin
America and the Caribbean,
providing customers more access to the region than any other U.S.
airline."
Customers traveling from these destinations will have the
ability to connect to nearly 200 destinations worldwide through
American's extensive networks out of Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami and Los
Angeles. With these new routes, American will operate more
than 1,750 weekly flights to 85 destinations throughout
Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin
America. American added two new destinations to Latin America and the Caribbean in 2014, with new service between
Miami and Cap-Haitien,
Haiti (CAP), and service from both
New York's John F. Kennedy Airport
and Miami to Campinas,
Brazil (VCP).
American is in the midst of more than $2
billion in planned improvements to give customers a superior
travel experience around the world. These capital investments
include fully lie-flat seats; international Wi-Fi; more in-flight
entertainment options and power outlets; a new, modern design for
Admirals Club lounges worldwide; and an upgraded assortment of
complimentary healthy food, cocktails and more. For more
information on American's $2 billion
investment, please visit aa.com/goingforgreat.
American is taking delivery of more than 100 new aircraft this
year, giving it the youngest fleet of any U.S.-based network
carrier. Orders include the Airbus A320 and A320neo family,
A350-900s, Boeing 737 MAX, 777-300ERs and 787s, which will make
American's fleet even younger, more modern and fuel efficient.
