American to add service to Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Asheville, N.C.
’)
Beginning April 6, American Airlines will add seasonal service between South Carolina's Myrtle Beach International and Dallas/Fort Worth. AA subsidiary American Eagle will fly one daily round-trip flight on the route through Oct. 31. The flights will be on 44-seat Embraer ERJ-140 regional jets.
Meanwhile, The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that American is also set to add service to North Carolina's Asheville Regional Airport. The paper points out that no official announcement has been made, but notes American's website shows fares for sale between Asheville and Dallas/Fort Worth. Flights appear to begin April 6, according to the flight-search function at AA.com. Like the Myrtle Beach service, American Eagle would fly one daily round-trip flight through Oct. 31 on 44-seat Embraer ERJ-140 regional jets, according to the Citizen-Times.
The Citizen-Times writes Asheville airport director "Lew Bleiweis said the airport board will consider an incentives package for American at its next meeting Feb. 12." Bleiweis tells the paper: "We are still in negotiations with them. Nothing has been signed."
Despite the negotiations reported by the Citizen-Times, the new route appears to be good to go. In addition to the fares available at AA.com, AA spokesman Tim Smith tells the Citizen-Times: Asheville is "a good market for us, especially in the summer. We also believe there's a lot of people who want to get into Asheville for tourism purposes as well as business."
The Citizen-Times adds that "Smith said American would not be selling tickets for the flights without feeling confident that it will be able to come to an agreement with Asheville Regional."
And, to the west, The Associated Press writes "the Reno-Tahoe International Airport is announcing a new nonstop flight to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Texas on American Airlines. The airport said Monday the service on a 188-seat Boeing 757 will operate four days a week starting Feb. 11. American Airlines currently offers two daily Dallas flights on a 140-seat MD-80."
