American Airlines is dropping four Caribbean flights as the airline expands in Austin, Texas.
The discontinued flights by the airline are;
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — Las Américas International Airport near Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (SDQ)
DFW — Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Martin (SXM)
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) — SDQ
PHL — Cibao International Airport near Santiago, Dominican Republic (STI)
Reduced demand is cited as the reason for the route cuts by American.
It’s not all bad news, though, for travellers heading south. In this week’s schedule update, the carrier added a new route to Mexico.
On Jan. 10, the carrier will launch a nonstop flight from Phoenix to Monterrey, Mexico. An Embraer E175 will operate this new daily service for regional affiliate Envoy Air.
