American is shaking up its network in the Northeast this summer. The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline will cut one route, but swap it with another.
In July, the carrier will end service between New York-JFK and Worcester, Massachusetts, according to Cirium Diio schedule data. This route began in 2022 and currently operates once per day on an Embraer E175 aircraft.
Starting on July 5, the airline will shift this service to its Philadelphia hub. The route will continue to operate daily, but on a 50-seat Piedmont E145.
The airline has previously shifted its short-haul network from New York-JFK following the breakup of its Northeast Alliance with JetBlue. A federal judge struck down the partnership in 2023 on antitrust grounds.
Philadelphia to Worcester was last served by American in 2022. With the aircraft change, the airline will reduce capacity in the market by 16 seats per day in each direction.
