New route opens new connections from MKE to Latin America and the Caribbean
MILWAUKEE (September 1, 2020) – American Airlines is adding nonstop service between Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) and Miami International Airport (MIA) beginning November 7, 2020. The new flights will be offered every Saturday through April 4, 2021.
“Miami has been one of the most requested unserved markets from MKE, and I’m pleased we were able to work with American Airlines to secure this new service,” Airport Director Brian Dranzik said. “Miami is American’s largest international hub, and this route gives Wisconsin travelers new access to dozens of exciting international markets, including many smaller islands, such as Martinique, Trinidad and Tobago, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.”
“We know how important access to Miami is, especially during the cold winter months,” said Brian Znotins, American’s Vice President of Network Planning. “Non-stop flights to MIA mean just one stop to the Caribbean and Latin America for beautiful escapes, and we look forward to providing that convenience for our customers in Milwaukee.”
The new flights will be operated with WiFi-equipped Embraer E-175 aircraft, featuring 12 First, 20 Main Cabin Extra, and 44 Main Cabin seats. Tickets are available for purchase now on AA.com and the American Airlines app.
Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (MKE) currently offers nonstop flights to 35 destinations coast-to-coast, and more than 200 international destinations are available with just one connection. MKE is served by Air Canada, Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, and United. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at mitchellairport.com.
MKE is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The Airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the Airport’s capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.
