- American’s Miami (MIA) hub is the largest gateway to Latin America and
the Caribbean in the United States.
- American will launch flights to Maracaibo, Venezuela (MAR) from MIA on
July 14, just weeks after becoming the first airline to resume flying between
the United States and Venezuela.
- American will launch service between Cap-Haitien (CAP) and MIA on Nov. 1,
becoming the first U.S. airline to announce the resumption of flights to
Haiti.
FORT WORTH, Texas — In its centennial year, American Airlines will further
its legacy as the largest airline with the most flights between the United
States and Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America (MCLA) with a milestone 100
destinations served in the region. Anchored around the carrier’s global hub in
Miami (MIA), American will add new service to its 99th and 100th destinations
in the region, with flights to Maracaibo, Venezuela (MAR) and Cap-Haitien,
Haiti (CAP).
“American connects the U.S. with Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America
better than any other airline,” said Chief Commercial Officer Nat Pieper. “We
are committed to serving the needs of travelers by offering the most flights
to the most destinations in the region of any U.S. carrier.”
With service to 100 destinations, American’s winter MCLA network is nearly
50% larger than its nearest U.S. competitor. For travelers, that means more
nonstop access to destinations unserved by any other U.S. carrier, including
Anguilla (AXA); Bimini, Bahamas (BIM); Ocho Rios, Jamaica (OCJ); South Caicos,
Turks and Caicos (XSC); Montevideo, Uruguay (MVD); and more.
More service to Venezuela than any other U.S. carrier
American will begin flights to Maracaibo on July 14, offering the only
nonstop service from the U.S. This new flight will continue to foster business
ties and strengthened relationships with family and friends, adding to
American’s twice daily service between Miami and Caracas.
American will operate flights from MIA to MAR daily with Embraer 175
aircraft, featuring premium cabin offerings and free high-speed Wi-Fi,
sponsored by AT&T.
Reconnecting Haiti with the United States
American will resume flights to Haiti with flights to Cap-Haitien starting
Nov. 1. American will operate daily MIA-CAP service with Boeing 737 aircraft
featuring premium cabin offerings and free high-speed Wi-Fi sponsored by
AT&T.
Haiti is the largest country in the Caribbean by demand unserved by a U.S.
carrier. South Florida is home to the largest Haitian-American population in
the U.S., and additional communities such as New York City and Orlando will
also benefit from convenient one-stop connections to CAP.
Miami’s hometown airline provides extensive service for
travelers
American is proud to connect Miami to the world with the best network of any
airline featuring more than 410 peak daily departures. This winter, the airline
is enhancing its commitment with increased service on key routes for
travelers:
- Two daily flights for the full winter season to Rio de Janeiro (GIG)
- Up to eight daily flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU)
- Up to four daily flights to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands (STT)
- Two daily flights to Antigua (ANU) starting Oct. 5
- Up to six daily flights to Tortola, British Virgin Islands (EIS)
- Three daily flights to Exuma, Bahamas (GGT) from Dec. 17, 2026-April 5,
2027
- Two daily flights to St. Kitts (SKB) from Dec. 17, 2026-April 5,
2027
In the coming years, American will invest further in premium travel from
Miami with a new
Flagship® lounge and a
re-imagined Concourse D.
