American Airlines Revives Direct Flights To New York At Cherry Capital Airport

By Beth Milligan | Dec. 20, 2017

After a four-year hiatus, American Airlines is bringing back non-stop service between Cherry Capital Airport and New York City's LaGuardia Airport, airport officials announced Tuesday.

The non-stop service will begin on Saturday, June 23 and continue through Sunday, September 2. “This weekend-only service continues to show the commitment on behalf of American Airlines to grow our air service," Cherry Capital Airport Director Kevin Klein said in a statement. "It is a result of continued enthusiasm by our travelers – first-time visitors and returning visitors from the East Coast region discovering what our Pure Michigan region is all about."

In addition to the New York service, American Airlines will also bring back its non-stop service between Dallas Ft. Worth and Traverse City this summer. The first flight will arrive on Thursday, June 7. This is the second year the airline will offer the route. The news means American Airlines will offer non-stop flights to three cities from Traverse City this year, including New York, Dallas Ft. Worth and Chicago.

"We are eager to continue to work with our all of northern Michigan partners and our airlines to attract additional services just like the returning American Airline’s non-stop LaGuardia and DFW service," said Klein. "The competition on the New York routes is outstanding, with United serving Newark and both American and Delta serving New York LaGuardia."
