American is planning to add four new seasonal markets from its Charlotte hub in 2024. According to the latest Cirium Diio schedule update, the Fort Worth-based airline intends to add two brand-new destinations while also resuming two others.
The airline is slated to resume its flights from Charlotte to Bozeman, Mont. (BZN) and Jackson Hole, Wyo. (JAC) on June 8, 2024 and June 5, 2024 respectively. Jackson Hole is planned as a daily Airbus A319 service, while Bozeman is Saturday only on a Boeing 737-800.

These new routes aren’t completely new to American’s network. Each had been served between late 2020 and early 2022, ending in April 2022. According to Cirium Diio’s historical data, they did not resume in 2023.
Also, as part of the schedule update, American is adding two new routes from Charlotte, including Spokane, Wash. (GEG) and Calgary (YYC). Charlotte-Spokane is set to begin on June 5, 2024 with daily service. Charlotte-Calgary will start on June 8, 2024 as a Saturday only flight.
Calgary will be served with a Boeing 737-800 and Spokane with an Airbus A321. American currently operates regular service to Spokane from its Dallas/Fort Worth and Phoenix Sky Harbor hubs. Calgary is served regularly from Dallas/Fort Worth and seasonally from Chicago O’Hare.
At the time of writing, these added flights are loaded until September 2024; the Saturday-only flights to Calgary and Bozeman will end in late August.
