American Airlines adjusts domestic routes with cuts and new additions

On a positive note for travelers in other regions, American is introducing new routes starting with a year-round daily service from Los Angeles to Columbus, Ohio. This service begins on March 6, 2025. Spirit Airlines previously operated this route but plans to discontinue it early next year.

"American is excited to welcome customers on our new nonstop service between Columbus and Los Angeles," said Jordan Pack, American's director of domestic network planning. "Los Angeles joins a lineup of eleven other nonstop destinations from Columbus on American."

Additionally, three limited-time routes will be added from Boston Logan International Airport during February's peak spring break period. These include flights from Boston to Orlando and Fort Myers on select dates in February.

The airline is also preparing for increased demand around the Super Bowl in New Orleans next year by offering flights from Boston on February 6 and 7 with return flights on February 10.

These strategic changes reflect American's efforts to optimize its domestic capacity during varying demand periods.
