American Airlines expanding U.S., Caribbean flights

American Airlines, is adding flights from seven more U.S. destinations to Miami International Airport for the busy winter season, betting on the Magic City’s continued growth.

Two of those cities — Portland, Oregon and Sacramento, California — are getting year-round flight service to Miami.

Juan Carlos Liscano, American’s vice president of Miami hub operations, said in an interview with the Herald that they believe in the importance of Miami. Miami is not a seasonal destination. They have really strong demand annually.

The American executive Wednesday acknowledged travel to Miami typically peaks in the winter. And so, the airline added five routes for that season when visitors typically come here to escape the snow and ice.

They include Buffalo, New York, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Lexington, Kentucky, which are slated for weekly flights from November 11 to March 30.

Also, American will fly additional flights to Miami to seven United States’ cities it already serves, including Oklahoma City and Denver. Those are also scheduled for the winter season, from Dec. 20 to April 3.

And the largest airline at Miami airport is adding year-round service to a new and popular Caribbean destination: Governor’s Harbour in the Bahamas.
