American Airlines Announces New Nonstop to LaGuardia From AVL

Start planning your summer vacation to the Big Apple! Air travelers can now book flights on an ERJ-175 (76-seat aircraft) from Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) on American Airlines to LaGuardia Airport in New York City (LGA) for travel starting on or after May 4, 2019.

Asheville Regional Airport was named as the second fastest growing airport in the country by Bloomberg News this year, and the growth is continuing. With 27 consecutive months of passenger growth, and eleven consecutive months of double-digit growth, AVL has moved comfortably into the small-hub category of airports in the U.S.

“The momentum of growth continues at Asheville Regional Airport,” said Lew Bleiweis, A.A.E., Executive Director. “American Airlines has a long history in our region and is a core provider of air service at AVL through their Charlotte hub. It is exciting that our community will have another excellent option for air service, not only to access the great city of Philadelphia, but to also connect to many additional domestic and international destinations.”
