American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, is to launch daily direct flights to Norfolk, Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport and Indianapolis International Airport from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport beginning 18 November 2010. Eagle will operate the service with 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145 jets.
"American is delighted to introduce this new service from New York to three key business markets," said Art Torno, Vice President – New York. "Whether for business or pleasure, customers from Norfolk, Cincinnati and Indianapolis will enjoy increased access to New York City on American Eagle, as well as connections to the 28 international destinations American flies to from JFK, including the Caribbean, South America, Europe and Japan."
American and American Eagle are expanding their New York presence, and, by 2011, New York customers will have access to approximately 290 daily departures to more than 80 unique destinations, including the new options for travel gained through American’s partnership with JetBlue Airways.
