New Bid to American Airlines |
|
It has come to the knowledge that the American Airlines, which is proficient in proffering a good and more number of flights from South Florida than any other airline is destined to commence a new nonstop service from Miami to Antigua on a daily basis. However, it is to be noted, that the only nonstop service is scheduled between Miami and the eastern Caribbean island, at present. It has also been learnt that the very Airline will initiate its project of flying the Miami-Antigua route on Nov. 20, 2008, using Boeing 737-800 aircraft configured with 16 seats in First Class and 132 seats in the Main Cabin. What shall be the essence of this new service? The new-fangled service through all means is going to complement the hitherto existing flights to Antigua from San Juan, Puerto Rico, offered by American and its regional affiliate, American Eagle. The basic reason behind this development is the significance of the place, which is located roughly about 290 miles southeast of San Juan and is acclaim in the global spectrum for its sunny climate, beautiful beaches, outstanding sailing and yachting facilities, and well-preserved coral reefs that offer excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. Speaking on this, Peter J. Dolara, American's Senior Vice President – Miami, Caribbean and Latin America said, "We are very excited to add Antigua to American Airlines extensive list of destinations served nonstop from Miami. It's the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. And now, it's just a convenient nonstop flight away from South Florida on American Airlines, as well as a convenient connecting flight from dozens of other destinations via our Miami hub." While being questioned on this aspect Hon. Harold Lovell, Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation of Antigua said, "Antigua entices visitors with wonderful scenery, beautiful beaches, numerous activities, and warm, friendly people. We look forward to the start of American's nonstop service from Miami and the opportunity it offers to showcase the many things that make Antigua such a special place for residents and visitors alike. We are confident that once visitors experience Antigua, they will want to return again and again." Posted by subhasis on Tuesday Apr 15 reply Comments |
