American Airlines expands to 43 Caribbean destinations

simpleflying.com

American Airlines has expanded its Caribbean service to 43 destinations, launching its first flights to South Caicos on March 15. This marks the first direct U.S. link to the island, which has a small population and relies heavily on tourism. The airline operates 152 daily flights to the Caribbean this week, up from 145 last year. American Airlines now accounts for nearly one in four U.S.-Caribbean flights, reinforcing its position as the leading short-haul international operator in the U.S. Despite the new service, the South Caicos market is small, with minimal traffic recorded last year. American Airlines continues to serve all Caribbean airports from its Miami hub, with Port-au-Prince in Haiti remaining unserved due to safety concerns.
