FORT WORTH, Texas -- American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, will launch nonstop regional jet service between Raleigh/Durham International Airport (RDU) and New York's LaGuardia Airport on July 2. This is the first step in a program that will provide American Eagle service from RDU to five top Northeastern cities with 25 daily round trips by mid-September.
At the same time, American Airlines announced that it will expand its RDU-Chicago nonstop service July 2 by adding a seventh daily round trip Super 80 flight. Also on July 2, American will introduce its newest and largest aircraft, the 245-seat Boeing 777, on its RDU-London Gatwick route, replacing the 767-300.
In coming months, American Eagle will start RDU service to Boston and Philadelphia (beginning August 20), with Newark International Airport beginning September 5 and Washington's Ronald Reagan Airport on September 17. The LaGuardia service that begins July 2 will include four round trip flights using 37-seat Embraer ERJ-135 regional jets. A fifth flight will be added August 20. The new service will expand Eagle's existing New York area service that includes six daily round trips to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
