AA's 2nd US service from Manchester

oneworld carrier American Airlines has begun a summer (seasonal) non-stop service linking Manchester (UK) with New York (JFK).

The carrier has been serving Chicago from Manchester for the last 25 years.

The new daily flight to JFK is being operated with a 757, with capacity for 182 passengers each way.

Graham Bell, Director of Sales UK & Ireland, American Airlines, said: ""We are delighted to be launching a second daily flight from Manchester to the US. American has been flying between Manchester and the US for nearly 25 years, which serves to demonstrate how committed we are to our Manchester operations and also gives us the distinction of being the airport's longest continuously serving carrier to the US."
"We believe the new service will prove just as popular as our existing Chicago route."
