American Airlines to Operate All-Boeing 777s Between Miami / New York and Buenos Aires

Posted on: Wednesday, 5 July 2006, 15:00 CDT

MIAMI, July 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Airlines will fly all Boeing 777 aircraft to Buenos Aires from both Miami and New York starting this fall, adding more passenger and cargo capacity to one of South America's most dynamic cities.

The all-Boeing 777 schedule from Miami to Buenos Aires will begin in early September, while 777 service from New York's Kennedy International Airport to Buenos Aires will begin in late October. The JFK service will operate through early April 2007.

American currently operates two daily nonstop flights between Miami and Buenos Aires -- one flown with a Boeing 777 and the second with a Boeing 767. Effective Sept. 6, the second flight will also be flown with Boeing 777 aircraft.

Service to Buenos Aires from New York is currently operated once daily with a Boeing 767. Effective Oct. 29, 2006 through April 2, 2007, a Boeing 777 will fly the route, and then revert again to a 767-300.

The Boeing 777 is the largest, most comfortable aircraft in American's fleet, offering First, Business and Economy Class seating. In addition to three spacious cabins, the 777 also features powerports at each seat in First and Business Class, and throughout the Economy cabin. Oversized storage bins are located in all three cabins.

"The addition of Boeing 777 aircraft to and from Miami and New York adds another dimension of convenience and comfort for passengers, and more cargo capacity for shippers," said Sergio Hurtado, American's Country Manager in Argentina. "For 16 years, the employees of American Airlines have proudly served Buenos Aires, and we are excited about offering an all-777 schedule for our Miami and New York customers."

American, a founding member of the global oneworld(R) Alliance, is the only U.S. airline to feature Boeing 777 service to Buenos Aires and offers more capacity to and from there than any other U.S. airline. In addition to Miami and New York, American also serves Buenos Aires from Dallas/Fort Worth.

All four airports -- Buenos Aires, Miami, New York JFK and Dallas/Fort Worth -- feature American's comfortable and elegant Admirals Club(R) lounges.
