FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines
will offer new access to Cancun,
Mexico - one of Mexico's
most popular destinations - when it adds new service from four U.S.
cities in 2016. The new seasonal service to Cancun International Airport (CUN) will
operate on Saturdays from Raleigh-Durham International Airport
(RDU), Pittsburgh International
Airport (PIT), Nashville
International Airport (BNA) and Kansas
City International Airport (MCI). We expect that
customers may begin booking flights for these new routes in
mid-November once governmental approvals have been obtained, and
service will start on March 5,
2016.
"The addition of these four new routes gives our customers 12
locations to fly non-stop to Cancun," said Art
Torno, senior vice president – International and Cargo. "As
the premier carrier to Mexico, the
Caribbean and Latin America with flights to 85 destinations,
these additions highlight our commitment to providing our customers
with a network that is second to none."

In August, American announced plans to provide customers a more
seamless experience with its Airbus 319 fleet. A319s will be
retrofitted with AC power ports at every seat and new overhead bins
with increased storage for carryon bags. When complete, all A319s
will be configured with 128 seats with 8 First Class seats and 18
Main Cabin Extra seats.
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.
