American Adjusts Regional Network to Add Summer Flying

The June schedule change appears in SABRE today, and includes adjustments to the regional network.

At ORD, Eagle will add a daily round trip to CHA, DTW, LSE, SGF, TVC, TYS, XNA and YYZ to capitalize on seasonal demand.

Additionally, Eagle will add new year-round service three times daily to Central Wisconsin Airport (CWA), a market Eagle last served in 1999.

At DFW, Additional daily round trips to BUF, CRP, GSP, JAN, MOB, and MTJ will begin June 1.

To free up Eagle resources to support the increased flying in ORD and DFW, American has asked Eagle to reduce its RJ flying in MIA (retaining 40 daily Eagle and Executive departures).

American will shift a portion of American Connection assets from STL to MIA, to improve STL profitability which has suffered recently under pressure from low cost carriers.

While the overall American Connection flying will not increase, Eagle will actually gain flying as capacity is redeployed into ORD and DFW, allowing us to fly 96 additional block hours in the month of June, due to more out-and-back hub flying.

Other notable changes in the June 1 schedule include cancellation of unprofitable flying in MIA-XNA and LGA-YHZ. Eagle will continue to serve YHZ with two daily round trips from JFK.

What is your source?


I am just curious because it seems like the author is using American Eagle and American Connection interchangeably which is not correct.

Its kinda like e-mails and announcments we get via the company the AA and AE web page called Jetnet. More east coast flying gone, they got rid of LGA FNT last month and RDU XNA.:(

I wonder if some of those routes are going to mainline or if they are just gone.

Too add more to this: From the company koolaid page apparently this connection flying out of MIA is a vioaltion of Bloch's award. Don't ask me what Bloch's award is. I have no idea:o hahe. Somebody thats been around longer can fill you in on that. Interesting....

rumor has it that many are going to TSA or CHQ as American Connection. No way this will be tolerated. Violations of scope.

That isn't possible if they're looking to reduce connection flying in STL and shuffle things around to ORD/DFW...

Oh this should be fun. If I had to put my money down on which Connection carrier might be headed down to MIA, I'd say it would be TSA. Our old TWA-now AA flying doesn't really get messed with too much.

I dont know... WE cannot get HK to open a ord base for us when we fly more than go jet, but I am not so quick to think he will open something up down in MIA

Or IAD... Outstation basing is so much fun.
