American to Offer Antigua Link from New York

Posted 13/06/2011

US carrier American Airlines is to inaugurate flights between New York JFK and Antigua this winter.  The carrier is planning to offer a four times weekly link with effect from November 17.  It plans to use a Boeing 737-800 on the new service.

The route is already served three times weekly by Delta Air Lines and twice weekly by Caribbean Airlines and an estimated 32,000 O&D passengers flew between the two destinations in the past year.  Delta dominates the market with a 54 per cent share of this traffic, but American already accounts for around a third of the passengers with flights via Miami International and San Juan.  The carrier has increased its traffic on the route by 13.9 per cent in the past year with stronger yields than both its rivals.

Schedule:

AA673 JFK0820 – 1335ANU 738 x237
AA678 ANU1450 – 1845JFK 738 x237
