AMERICAN Airlines has been granted permission by the US Department of Transportation to begin daily non-stop service from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Buenos Aires in Argentina from December 13.
"We have long wanted to serve Latin America from our Chicago hub, and we are pleased that we will be able to do so as part of a new aviation agreement between Argentina and the United States," said Peter Dolara, American's senior vice president for Miami, Caribbean and Latin America.
"This new route to Latin American complements our existing service to Buenos Aires from other gateways including Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami and John F Kennedy Airport in New York. This new flight will provide easy, convenient connections to Buenos Aires for passengers and shippers located throughout the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest and Canada via O'Hare," he added.
The provisional flight schedule is as follows: Flight AA961 will depart from Chicago at 2010 hrs and arrive in Buenos Aires at 1020 hrs the next day. From Buenos Aires on December 14, flight AA964 will take off at 2055 hrs and land in Chicago at 0510 hrs the following day, a statement from the carrier said.
