American leads Eastern Caribbean recovery with interisland flights and another nearly 2,000 seats added to the region

American Airlines continues its support of customers affected by the FAA-mandated airspace closure in the Eastern Caribbean with more flights, more seats and limited-time interisland flying. The airline has added nearly 2,000 more seats — a total of nearly 7,000 seats with 43 extra flights — to boost capacity and expand access for customers who need to travel between the Eastern Caribbean and U.S.

The interisland flights provide more customers with access to extra flights scheduled between SJU and Miami (MIA) on Jan. 5, operating on the airline’s largest aircraft, the Boeing 777-300.
