American Airlines adds 3rd daily frequency from Miami to Aruba

Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA) and Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA) are pleased to announce American Airlines' 3rd daily frequency between Miami and Aruba for the upcoming winter season 2018 -2019. This latest development in service comes several months after American Airlines introduced two new non – stop Saturday only flights from Dallas and Chicago leading to a welcome expansion as well as diversification in gateways out of the US market.  Currently American Airlines operates double daily (14x) flights out of Miami and Charlotte and 5 weekly flights from Philadelphia. As of this winter American Airlines will now be servicing Aruba out of five gateways with a total of 42 weekly flights. The 3rd Miami flight initiates on December 19th, 2018 and will run throughout the complete winter season ending March 31st, 2019, adding a total of 85 flights for a total of 13,800 seats.  The route will be operated by a B737 – 800.  The new frequency is already out – for – sale since Saturday, September, 8th, 2018.
“The addition of extra flights to Aruba is a clear reflection of the solid partnership and high demand for the destination. Seeing the fact that Aruba is the perfect spot to spend the cold winter days at, we are convinced that the decision to provide additional seats to Aruba will indeed be very fruitful for both the airline and the travelers seeking for more travel options to and from Aruba,” said AAA CEO Mr. James Fazio.
"We are delighted to welcome the extra flights of American Airlines. Dallas and Chicago are both critical gateways for Aruba, strategically important for our diversification strategy within the US market. American Airlines continuously ranks amongst the top 3 preferred carriers serving Aruba," said ATA CEO Ronella Tjin Asjoe-Croes.
