American Airlines to grow Miami hub yet again

American Airlines which has almost doubled its daily departures from its Miami Worldgateway facility since January 2002 has added more flights to its schedule yet again. The new services are as follows.

Curacao: Incr from 10 to 12 a wk from Aug 24
Kingston: Incr from 2 to 3 a day from Oct 30
Montego Bay: Incr from 3 to 4 a day from Dec 15
St Kitts: Incr from 3 to 5 a wk from Oct 30
Washington DC: Incr from 7 to 8 a day from Oct 30
Guanacaste: Incr 5 to 7 a wk (Dec 13 to Apr 1)
Rio: Incr 7 to 12 a wk (Dec 15 to Feb 28)
Santiago : Incr 7 to 10 a wk (Dec15 to Apr 3)
Montevideo: New nonstops 3 times a week begin October 31st
Manchester, UK: Daily seasonal service resumes Oct 30th.
London Heathrow: Incr 10 to 14 a wk (Oct 30 to Apr 1)

The Kingston and Montego Bay additions are likely due to the new service Spirit Airlines will begin from Fort Lauderdale this winter. In addition, US Airways has added service in recent months from Fort Lauderdale to Jamaica. Also in the coming months look for American to possibly add nonstop service from Miami to Dublin and/or Brussels

Why anyone would fly out of Miami is beyond me. I live in Dade County and I always fly out of Fort Lauderdale. The flights are cheaper and you have more flights on more airlines, not a government injected monopoly.

Protect the free market. Don't fly from Alex Penelas Int'l fleeceport
