American Airlines has announced the resumption of daily nonstop service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Pittsburgh International Airport, effective April 4. The announcement was made via a post on X on the same date.

According to WTAE Pittsburgh, this marks the first time since 2017 that American Airlines has offered daily nonstop flights between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. The decision follows a decade of lobbying by the Pittsburgh Film Office and other business sectors to reestablish this route. The return of the service is expected to enhance connectivity for both business and leisure travelers.

As reported by Blue Sky News, Flight AA814 will depart from LAX at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, arriving in Pittsburgh at 4:37 p.m. Eastern Time. The return flight will leave Pittsburgh at 5:57 p.m. Eastern Time, reaching LAX at 8:05 p.m. Pacific Time.
