American Airlines is set to expand its route map by introducing a new service to Columbus, Mississippi. The Fort Worth-based airline will begin this service on May 5, marking its first-ever flights to the region. This development was initially observed in Cirium schedules and later confirmed by an American Airlines spokesperson.
The airline plans to operate once-daily flights from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Golden Triangle Regional Airport (GTR). The route will be served by American Eagle subsidiary SkyWest Airlines using a CRJ-700 regional jet. This aircraft has a capacity of 65 seats, including nine first-class seats, 12 Main Cabin Extra seats, and 44 standard economy seats.
Golden Triangle Regional Airport serves the area known as the Golden Triangle in Mississippi, which includes Columbus, West Point, and Starkville—the home of Mississippi State University. Delta Air Lines has been the dominant carrier in this region for decades, connecting GTR with up-to-four-times-daily flights to its Atlanta hub.
