American Airlines Will Re-Launch Miami/Westchester Route: Report

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — Life is about to get a little easier for Hudson Valley snowbirds hoping to escape winter weather for the sunshine state.

American Airlines is gearing up to launch a new seasonal service between Miami International Airport (MIA) and Westchester County Airport (HPN), according to the aviation industry blog, "The Points Guy."

The new route will launch on Jan. 10, with daily flights through May 3. American Eagle regional affiliate Envoy Air will operate an Embraer E175 on the flights, according to the site. The 76-seat jet is outfitted with 12 first-class recliners, 20 extra legroom seats and 44 standard economy class seats.

While the Miami/Westchester route is new to the airline's schedule, it isn't the first time American has operated service between the two cities. The airline flew the MIA/HPN route from December 2016 to August 2017 before dropping the flights.

JetBlue currently offers weekend service between the resort town and the regional airport in Harrison.
