American Eagle Announces Daily Nonstop Service Between Miami and Gainesville, Fla.
Eagle Also to Reinstate Miami Service to Treasure Cay, Bahamas
American Eagle Airlines, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, today announced nonstop service between Miami International Airport (MIA) and Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) in Gainesville, Fla., beginning Oct. 1. Eagle will operate the service with 64-seat Super ATR aircraft.
"We are excited to launch this service to Gainesville - with its strong ties to South Florida, both in business and education," said Peter J. Dolara, American's Senior Vice President based in Miami. "Our passengers have been asking for this new service. Connecting these two communities is proof of our ongoing commitment to increase service from our Miami hub. It will also offer passengers from the Gainesville area the ability to connect to destinations throughout the U.S., the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe."
"It's a great pleasure to welcome American Eagle to Gainesville," said U.S. Representative Corrine Brown (D-Fla). "The market in this area is growing at a very fast pace, and the accessibility this new service will provide to the rest of the country, as well as to Latin America and the Caribbean, will undoubtedly serve as a vehicle of great progress and an economic boost for Alachua County."
Home to the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the nation, Gainesville is also a thriving technology and medical center and routinely appears among the top-ranked cities in which to live and work.
