American Airlines has announced plans to increase its flights on the popular business route between New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). This decision comes shortly after JetBlue revealed its intention to exit the same route. The Texas-based airline will now offer up to eight daily flights on weekdays and up to four on weekends starting May 5.
The increased service will be operated using dual-cabin regional jets, providing passengers with first-class seating options. A spokesperson for American Airlines stated, "American is continuously evaluating our network to suit the needs of customers who are increasingly looking for more convenient flights between New York and Boston."
Prior to this change, American operated up to four daily flights on this route. JetBlue's recent strategic shift under its JetForward plan has led it to focus more on leisure travel from the Northeast and South Florida, leading to its withdrawal from this corridor.
