American Airlines Group Inc. is gambling on a strong travel recovery this summer as Covid-19 vaccinations increase, with plans to fly more than 90% of its 2019 domestic seat capacity and 80% of international.
The carrier will add 150 routes, including new flights and service that’s poised to be restored after getting trimmed during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a company statement Wednesday. Like its rivals, American plans to boost flights to mountain and beach destinations, including new routes to Orlando, Florida, from eight cities including Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
