American Airlines is bucking the recent trend where we have seen airlines cut frequency and cancel routes between the United States and Canada altogether. A new seasonal flight between Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) started today and will run on Saturdays until November 1st.
This route complements the existing service that American offers from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). In addition to the Dallas flights, American is increasing the frequency of its Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) flights to daily (until October 5th and then it runs weekly until November 1st).
José A. Freig, VP International and Inflight Dining Operations at American Airlines, said:
We’re excited to be further extending our reach into Canada, adding more flights to Québec City as we further connect the US to the ever-growing tourist destination. Our new seasonal weekly service from Dallas-Fort Worth provides customers with a greater opportunity to explore the scenery, history, and culture Québec City has to offer.”
Stéphane Poirier, President and CEO of YQB, added:
We’re delighted to have Dallas-Fort Worth added to our selection of destinations, and to see the route between Québec City and Charlotte increase in frequency as well. With four destinations now offered, American Airlines has shown great confidence in us. These additions will also improve connectivity to destinations such as the Caribbean, Europe, and all of the United States, since DFW, Charlotte, Chicago, and Philadelphia are all key hubs for the airline.”
Anthony’s Take: It’s interesting to see American add flights between the United States and Canada while carriers from both countries have been scaling back due to decreased demand. Let’s see how this seasonal route fares.
