American Airlines adds three and cuts six routes while United adds 3 and drops 4

American Airlines (AA) unveils significant route modifications, introducing new connections while discontinuing several existing flight services ahead of the summer 2025 season.

According to a domestic network update shared by Adrian Waltz, American will drop six routes and add three new ones.

The airline will expand its Midwest presence by launching daily flights from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to both Bismark and Boise, starting June 2025.

In a strategic move against competitor Allegiant Air (G4), American will establish weekly service between Appleton and Phoenix beginning May 2025.

However, the carrier implements notable service reductions across its network. The Charlotte-Tulum route faces complete cancellation after February, marking a significant shift from the previously announced temporary fall suspension.

This development signals American’s broader challenges in the Tulum market.

Several key domestic routes will cease operations. The Washington DCA to Fort Lauderdale service terminates after May, despite its historical importance in connecting the capital region to South Florida.

Chicago O’Hare loses two routes: services to Key West will end after June, while Palm Springs flights conclude around June 4th.

Additional route eliminations include Miami (MIA) to White Plains ending after May, and Phoenix to Idaho Falls ceasing operations in the same timeframe.

The Idaho Falls cancellation particularly benefits Allegiant Air, which maintains service between Idaho Falls and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway.

United Airlines (UA) has made changes to several new routes, demonstrating its commitment to market expansion. Chicago-based carrier will launch a twice-daily service between Idaho Falls and Minneapolis-St. Paul (IAD-MHT) starting May 2025.

Additionally, the airline is introducing new routes from Houston, with services to Vail/Eagle (IAH-VEG) beginning in May 2025 and Eugene (ORD-YEG) commencing in June 2025.

However, United is also streamlining its network with several route discontinuations. The airline will cease operations between Albany and Newark (ALB-EWR) after March 2025.

In a similar timeframe, service between Denver and Shenandoah Regional Airport (DEN-SRQ) will be suspended, though industry analysts suggest this might be a seasonal adjustment rather than a permanent removal.

Other notable cuts include the elimination of routes between Erie and Newark (EWR-MHT), and Erie to Washington Dulles (EWR-PVD), both terminating after March 2025.

These adjustments particularly impact United’s presence in smaller regional markets.
