American Airlines announced that they will be adding new domestic and international service from Los Angeles beginning in the fall.

The new destinations from Los Angeles will include:

• Edmonton, Alberta operated daily, beginning Oct. 2
• San Antonio operated twice daily, beginning Oct. 2
• Tampa, Florida operated daily, beginning Nov. 6
• Vancouver, British Columbia operated twice daily, beginning Oct. 2

Per the press release, service between LAX and Edmonton, San Antonio and Vancouver will be operated as US Airways Express with a two-class Bombardier CRJ-900 aircraft. The new route between LAX and Tampa will be operated by American Airlines with a two-class Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

With these new markets, American will serve 53 domestic and international destinations from its LAX hub.

Bottom Line

With the US Airways and American merger, expect to see new routes being added and current routes could be changing, but this is a positive for LAX flyers.
