American Airlines is adding a new domestic route this summer.
The carrier will connect Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri with Phoenix, an airline spokesperson confirmed to AirlineGeeks. Flights will operate once a week starting on May 23, operated by an Embraer E175.
Further information is expected to be released by Springfield-Branson National Airport.
“We’re eager to welcome travelers from Southwest Missouri on our new service to Phoenix this summer,” Jordan Pack, American’s director of domestic network planning, said in a statement. “As we’ve steadily grown our flights out of SGF, travelers have responded positively. This has given us the confidence to add flights to Phoenix that will unlock more access from Springfield to the Southwest and Western U.S.”
American currently connects Springfield to Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago O’Hare, Miami, and Charlotte, North Carolina.
