American is slated to restart service on a mainline route for the first time in roughly seven years. The flights will begin next year.
According to the most recent Cirium Diio schedule update, the Fort Worth, Texas-based airline plans to resume flights between Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. The new route will be offered as a daily service.
The airline’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft are planned to operate the 2,136-mile route. Flights will start on April 4, 2025.
While Pittsburgh is served from the carrier’s other hubs, Los Angeles has remained the exception with no non-stop service for several years. American last served the Los Angeles-Pittsburgh market in February 2017.
Currently, ultra-low-cost carrier Breeze also serves the route.
More Resuming Routes
American plans to resume a handful of routes next year, including several flights from its Chicago O’Hare hub. These include Chicago to Boise, which will begin in June 2025.
In addition, the carrier plans to add flights between Chicago and Spokane, Washington, a route last served in 2021. Envoy Air Embraer E175s will operate the daily service beginning in June.
