“These two new St. Thomas routes will not only promote travel and tourism to the island, but they’ll also provide our local customers with one-stop access to the network we operate out of our Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago hubs,” said Alfredo Gonzalez, managing director for the Caribbean, American Airlines. “We have identified unique growth opportunities in the Caribbean and as a result, this year, we will continue to expand our presence in the region with new routes, frequencies and destinations.”
