American Airlines adding 20 new flights at LAX

Tuesday, 21 Jan, 2016 0
American Airlines is ramping up services from Los Angeles with 20 new daily flights.
 
It will build two new gates and hire 200 additional workers to support the expansion, the carrier said.
 
Nine of the flights will be new routes for American at LAX, including services to Delta Air Lines’ hubs in Seattle and Minneapolis/Saint Paul.
 
American is the largest airline at Los Angeles but only by a small margin.
 
Competition between the big two is heating up at LAX; American has a 20% share, just ahead of Delta’s 18%.
 
Average leisure fares at LAX have fallen by about 28% according to research carried out late last year by analysts Harrell Associates.
 
Other new year-round daily routes  include New Orleans, Kansas City and Hartford, CT.
 
American will also fly seasonal services to Anchorage, Durango, Colorado, and Jackson Hole.
 
In all, it represents a 10% increase in flights to an average 220 departures a day.
 
"LAX is well-positioned for greater growth, and I’m pleased that American Airlines is helping to expand our global reach," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
