FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, today launched service to Southeastern New Mexico with four nonstop flights per week from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Roswell International Air Center (ROW). This new service will be operated with 44-seat Embraer ERJ-140 jets, and is in addition to the three daily round-trip flights now offered between Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Roswell.
"We have received tremendous community support from Roswell and are delighted to connect the communities of Southeast New Mexico with convenient jet service to the West Coast," said American Eagle President and CEO Peter Bowler. "Customers can arrive in Los Angeles first thing in the morning and connect to popular Western destinations such as Las Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego - or to cities throughout the American and American Eagle network."
Customers can also make convenient connections in Los Angeles to destinations in the Pacific Northwest, via American's codeshare agreement with Alaska Airlines.
"I'm very pleased that American Eagle is building on its success in Roswell by offering this new service to Los Angeles," U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman said. "This demonstrates a great commitment to southeastern New Mexico."
