1st American Airlines Flight To Cape Cod Airport Arrives Next Week

HYANNIS, MA — The first American Airlines flight will arrive into Cape Cod next week, airport officials said.

American Airlines announced the beginning of the new relationship this fall, with flights available from New York LaGuardia Airport and Washington Reagan National Airport.

The first flight into Hyannis will arrive at 12:19 p.m. on June 5, officials confirmed this week.

“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,” said Brian Znotins, American's Senior Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning, in the announcement of the partnership. “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.”

According to American, this could be a big draw to the company for those looking to get to Cape Cod via flight, as they will be the only global network carrier with routes directly to the airport. This means more than 80 destinations across North America now have access to Cape Cod through a connecting flight in New York or Washington D.C.

But Hyannis isn't the only new addition to the lineup of American flights to New England.

According to the company, flights to Bangor and Portland, Maine, and Halifax, Canada begin on June 5 from LaGuardia. Flights to Martha's Vineyard from LaGuardia begin on June 22.
