American Airlines and American Eagle add more service to and from Mexico

FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines and its regional affiliate, American Eagle, are increasing their service to and from Mexico. American said the additional service is a result of increased demand, in part related to the suspension of flights by Mexicana Airlines on Aug. 11.

Here are the new flights to be operated by American Airlines:

Dallas/Fort Worth – Mexico City – currently 4 daily round trips, increasing to 5 on Nov. 18.
Miami – Mexico City – currently 3 daily round trips, increasing to 4 on Nov. 18.
Miami – Cancun – currently 4 daily round trips on weekdays and 5 daily round trips on weekends, increasing to 5 every day of the week on Feb. 10, 2011.
Chicago – Mexico City – add one new daily round trip on Dec. 16.

Here are the new flights to be flown by American Eagle:

Dallas/Fort Worth – Guadalajara – currently 2 daily round trips – one on American Airlines and one on American Eagle. On Nov. 18, the route goes to two daily round trips on American. On Dec. 16, the service will increase to 3 daily round trips – one new round trip on American Eagle, in addition to the two round trips on American.
Dallas/Fort Worth – Aguascalientes – currently one daily round trip on American Eagle, increasing to two on Nov. 18.
Dallas/Fort Worth – Leon – currently 3 daily round trips on American Eagle, increasing to 4 on Dec. 16.

Here are additional services to and from Mexico on which American intends to codeshare with Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air. American will place its AA* code on flights operated by Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air in the following U.S.-Mexico markets, implementing the services later this year after all regulatory approvals are received:

Los Angeles – Mexico City***
Los Angeles – Guadalajara***
Los Angeles – La Paz (operated by Horizon Air)
Los Angeles – Loreto (operated by Horizon Air)
Los Angeles – Mazatlan
Los Angeles – Puerto Vallarta
