American Airlines has announced a series of adjustments to its network, including the introduction of five new routes. Three of these routes will originate from New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The airline also plans to cut one route and adjust its wide-body deployment strategy.
The Fort Worth-based carrier confirmed plans to launch new routes from LaGuardia to Bozeman, Montana; Calgary, Alberta; and Kalispell, Montana. These Saturday-only services will begin on June 7 and run through August 30. A Boeing 737 MAX 8 will be used for these flights, featuring 16 first-class seats, 24 Main Cabin Extra seats, and 132 standard economy seats. The flight to Kalispell will become the longest from LaGuardia at 2,035 miles.
American is utilizing LaGuardia's "perimeter rule" exception for Saturday flights to operate these routes beyond the typical distance restrictions. This approach aims to attract leisure travelers during summer weekends.
