Posted on: Monday, 26 June 2006, 15:00 CDT

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, will add nonstop service between Alexandria International Airport (Louisiana) and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, beginning Dec. 14, 2006. American Eagle will operate three daily round-trip flights between the two cities using 34-seat Saab 340 turboprop aircraft.

"This new service to Alexandria builds on American Eagle's existing success with service launches to Lafayette and Monroe, Louisiana, earlier this year," said American Eagle President Peter Bowler. "These markets are convenient to our DFW hub and allow passengers easy connections to more than 100 domestic and international destinations."

"American Eagle's new nonstop service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Alexandria will help central Louisiana businesses better compete at a time when the region's impact on the state's economy has never been higher," said Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). "Facilitating travel and commerce between Louisiana and key hubs around the country will increase our standing in the national and global economy, and we are grateful to American for making this investment in our future."

American and American Eagle will serve six Louisiana cities with this new service. In addition to its three recent additions, Eagle also serves Baton Rouge and Shreveport, while American serves New Orleans.
