The Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic hits a bright note on January 5th as American Airlines returns to the airport beginning Tuesday. American had pulled their schedule for the months of October, November, and December as they navigate the impacts of COVID-19 on their own flight operations.
“We welcome American’s return to Kalamazoo and the access they provide to their extensive network of domestic and international destinations. Throughout the pandemic, American assured the Airport of their commitment to SW Michigan and their return confirms that commitment,” said Airport Director, Craig Williams.
American will operate one flight daily to/from their Chicago O’Hare gateway. The flights are timed to maximize the number of domestic and international connections over Chicago O’Hare. For booking and fare information contact your local travel professional or American Airlines at www.aa.com.
Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
