WESTERN BUREAU:
American Airlines has added Austin, Texas, to its United States-Montego Bay (MBJ) route and will commence flights between the cities as at June 11.
The airline, the number-one carrier into the island, already operates a service to MBJ from Miami, Dallas/Fort Worth, Charlotte, New York-JFK, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
According to the airline, it is building on its record growth in Austin by adding the year-round service from Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) to Jamaica and the Mexican Caribbean (CZM), marking its eighth international route from that gateway.
The new routes to CZM and MBJ are the 31st and 32nd destinations to be added to American’s network from Austin since the beginning of 2021.
With these additions, American serves 40 destinations from Austin, including the airline’s two largest hubs in Charlotte and Dallas Fort Worth.
Starting June 11, the airline will offer service between Austin and MBJ on Saturdays at the following local times:
. Outbound flight departs AUS at 8:20 a.m. and arrives MBJ at 11:23 a.m.
. Inbound flight departs MBJ at 12:03 p.m. and arrives AUS at 3:53 p.m.
American says both routes will be operated by Envoy Air on an Embraer E175.
Currently, American operates nine flights per day on weekdays and 11 on Saturdays.
