American Airlines returns to Tallahassee

From the Tallahassee Democrat.

Tallahassee air travelers will get a new option for travel to Miami and beyond beginning in March as American Airlines returns to the market with two daily sets of round trips.

Formal announcement of the new service is expected from both Tallahassee Regional Airport and the airline later today.

“This is exciting because this gives us a link to American’s Miami hub,” said Philip Inglese, deputy airport director.

The two sets of roundtrips are set to begin March 2, the announcements will say.

One set of flights will originate in Tallahassee at 9:10 a.m., arriving in Miami at 10:30 a.m. and return at 6:05 p.m., arriving in Tallahassee at 7:25 p.m.

The other will depart from Miami at 7:15 a.m., arriving in Tallahassee at 8:45 a.m., departing Tallahassee at 4:10 p.m. and arriving in Miami at 5:40 p.m.

“We are fond of saying Tallahassee is one stop away from anywhere,” Inglese said, noting this makes the step a shorter one, since it’s to the nation’s largest airline’s hub.
