American Airlines has announced a new route that will become its shortest flight to date. Starting February 14, 2026, the airline’s regional affiliate Envoy Air will begin operating flights between Miami and South Bimini Airport (BIM) in the Bahamas. The service will run three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

The new Miami-Bimini route covers just 64 miles, making it shorter than American’s previous shortest flight between Chicago and Milwaukee by three miles. According to Cirium schedules, this new route is notable not only for its length but also because it introduces an all-new destination for American in the Bahamas.

Flights on this route will use Embraer E175 regional jets equipped with 12 first-class recliners, 20 Main Cabin Extra seats offering additional legroom, and 44 standard economy seats.

"This winter, the airline will operate more than 30 daily flights to the Bahamas during the peak season, and it'll also be the only U.S. airline flying to Governor's Harbour and Freeport. (Freeport is also served from the U.S. by the Bahamian flag carrier Bahamasair.)"

American Airlines is expanding its presence in leisure markets with these new offerings. In addition to launching service to Bimini, American is increasing frequencies to Marsh Harbour and North Eleuthera during the winter holiday season.

Miami continues to serve as a central hub for American’s Caribbean operations. From there, travelers can connect to Bimini from over 80 destinations across the United States and Canada.

Additionally, American plans further network growth domestically by introducing a nonstop seasonal flight between Charlotte and Palm Springs starting December 20. This service will operate on Saturdays through April 18, 2026.
