American is set to operate its longest regional route next year, which is also new to the carrier’s network.
Starting in February 2025, the airline will add flights between its Phoenix hub and Appleton, Wisconsin.
According to Cirium Diio schedule data, the service will operate approximately once per week on an Embraer E175 aircraft.
Flights are scheduled to begin on February 15 and continue through May 3.
American’s regional subsidiary Envoy Air will operate the route.
At 1,463 miles, the Phoenix-Appleton route becomes the airline’s longest regional flight. It is just slightly longer than the current titleholder: Miami to Dominica.
The average block time on the new route is just over four hours on the westbound leg, while eastbound flights are planned around three hours.
American also serves Appleton from Chicago O’Hare, Charlotte, and Dallas/Fort Worth.
In addition, American is adding two regional routes from its Chicago O’Hare hub starting in June 2025.
These include Bismarck, North Dakota, and Boise, Idaho, both of which will be operated daily by Embraer E175 jets.
