American Airlines will expand its international presence in New York this spring with three new routes between John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and San Jose, Costa Rica; Madrid, Spain; and Manchester, England.
The new flights to San Jose will begin on April 6, while service to Madrid will start on May 1, and flights to Manchester will begin on May 13.
The schedule brings the number of international destinations American serves from New York to 31 — nine cities in Europe, 18 destinations in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Latin American regions, three in Canada, and a daily nonstop flight to Tokyo.
“New Yorkers are international travelers – whether for business or leisure travel – and we’re excited to add these three great destinations to our schedule,” Jim Carter, American’s Vice President – Eastern Sales Division, said in a news release.
The new San Jose flight, Flight 611, will depart five times a week from JFK, every day except Friday and Sunday. American will fly its Boeing 757 aircraft with 16 seats in Business Class and 166 seats in the Coach cabin on the route.
