American Airlines Adds More Capacity in Montana With New Service to National Parks
August 29 2019 - 10:02AM
American Airlines continues to grow in Montana with four new
seasonal flights to the Big Sky Country from Philadelphia (PHL),
New York (LGA) and Los Angeles (LAX). The airline will also
introduce three new routes to Alaska, including service to
Fairbanks (FAI), a new destination for customers looking to indulge
in long summer days next year.
“National parks are a huge attraction for many families,” said
Vasu Raja, Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning. “As
soon as school’s out next year, our customers will have more than
145 weekly round-trip flights to Montana to choose from. This
summer, we launched three new flights to Glacier National Park in
Kalispell, and, next summer, we’re expanding with more service to
discover the natural wonders.”
Based on the success of this year’s new service to Glacier
National Park Airport in Kalispell (FCA), American is also
switching to a larger aircraft on the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and
Chicago (ORD) flights — from an Embraer E175 with 76 seats to a
Boeing 737-800 with 160 seats.
Customers eager to venture farther for outdoor adventures can
look forward to new flights to Alaska. American is providing two
new ways to get to Alaska’s second-largest city, Fairbanks, through
DFW on an Airbus A321 and ORD on a 737-800. The new routes will
serve local and connecting customers who are looking to explore
Denali National Park, check out caribou or learn about the unique
glaciers. With American’s convenient daily service beginning in May
2020, the airline is offering one-stop connections from 56 new
cities. American will also introduce new service between ORD and
Anchorage, Alaska (ANC).
Flights will be available for purchase Sept. 1.
