First American Airlines jet to land midday Wednesday
November 28, 2017 (New Haven, CT) – On Wednesday, November 29 at 11:30 a.m., Mayor Toni N. Harp will join officials of the Tweed New Haven Regional Airport Authority and welcome the arrival of new American Airlines jet service at Tweed New Haven Regional Airport, 155 Burr Street, New Haven.
The airport will launch the new jet service American Eagle, and will begin replacing its 37-seat, Dash 8 turboprop service with 50-seat, CRJ-200 regional jet aircraft. The jet upgrade will offer New Haven passengers a higher level of service and a smoother, quieter traveling experience while also offering an additional 78 seats a day to and from American’s premier global hub in Philadelphia.
American’s jet service connects New Haven passengers to more than 21 countries and 115 destinations with a quick, one-stop connection in Philadelphia. Additional connections can be made from Philadelphia via American’s other hubs to access nearly 350 destinations in more than 50 countries across American’s worldwide network.
The ongoing enhancements and upgrade to the main airport runway will ensure continued operational reliability for American while also opening Tweed to longer distance flights for the future. The growth and increased level of services at Tweed will insure that the airport will continue to be a vital economic engine for the region.
