American Airlines has announced plans to launch a new daily nonstop flight from Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin, to New York LaGuardia Airport. The service is set to begin on September 3 and will be operated by Republic Airways under the American Eagle brand. This route will introduce competition with Delta Air Lines, which already operates two daily flights between Madison and New York.
The aircraft designated for this route is the Embraer E175, which seats 76 passengers. Dane County Executive Melissa Agard highlighted the convenience of the new service for both leisure and business travelers due to its favorable departure and arrival times.
The schedule indicates that flights from LaGuardia will depart at 17:25 and arrive in Madison at 19:02. Return flights are scheduled to leave Madison at 6:00 and reach LaGuardia by 9:19.
