Cape Cod residents and vacationers who don’t wish to drive to and from Boston for a flight may have one other airline choice on the Cape subsequent summer season.
American Airlines has introduced that it will likely be including day by day summer season flights from New York LaGuardia Airport and Washington Reagan National Airport to Cape Cod Gateway Airport in Hyannis.
The airline can even add day by day summer season service from LaGuardia to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. The different New England and Canadian routes that American Airlines introduced on Thursday have been LaGuardia to: Portland, Maine; Bangor, Maine; and Halifax, Canada.
Passengers on all of those new flights will probably be touring on 76-seat Embraer E-175 aircrafts.
The airline’s service to the Cape will give year-round residents and vacationers one other journey choice, Cape Cod Gateway Airport Manager Katie Servis advised the Herald on Thursday. American will probably be becoming a member of JetBlue and Cape Air on the Hyannis airport.
“This will be absolutely terrific for our community,” Servis stated. “This will lead to better connectivity for the folks in our community.”
Instead of battling site visitors and driving as much as Boston the place parking is dearer, individuals on the Cape will be capable to fly from Hyannis to Washington, D.C. and New York — the place they’ll get connections to locations throughout the nation and overseas, Servis stated.
The flights from New York to Hyannis will begin on June 5 subsequent yr, adopted by the launch of flights from Washington, D.C. to Hyannis on June 22.
“American continues to build a network that gives customers the most comprehensive access to the places they want to visit with nine new routes for next summer,” stated Brian Znotins, American’s senior VP of Network and Schedule Planning.
“New service to Hyannis, expanded service from New York, and more international service grows the largest global network in the United States, connecting more cities than any other U.S. carrier, for a summer like no other,” Znotins added.
Cape Cod Gateway Airport officers have been making an attempt to “woo” American to Hyannis for the final 5 years, Servis stated. Part of the airport’s pitch was targeted on how the Cape’s year-round inhabitants has been rising.
As of subsequent yr, American’s service at Hyannis will probably be for less than the summer season months — just like JetBlue.
“We would love for it to become year-round service,” the airport’s supervisor stated. “We have a lot of year-round residents with homes in Florida, for instance, who would love to fly from Hyannis to connect to their final destination in Florida.”
Flights to Hyannis will probably be accessible for buy beginning on Oct. 23. Tickets for different routes will probably be accessible for buy beginning on Oct. 16.
