"This is great news for the city and state, opening up not only leisure travel connections, but convention and business opportunities as well," Mayor Richard Berry said. "American Airlines has been a longtime partner at the Sunport and we look forward to a continued strong relationship with additional growth opportunities."
The Albuquerque to Charlotte flight will complement American's year-round service from Albuquerque to Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles and Phoenix. The new flight will provide customers in Albuquerque with additional access to the combined carrier's extensive global network, with nonstop connections from Charlotte to destinations throughout the U.S., Europe and Latin America. In Charlotte, American and US Airways offer more than 700 daily departures to more than 140 destinations.
