American Airlines has announced it will add a new service between Manchester and New York JFK, just a week after Delta announced it was withdrawing from the route.
American’s new non-stop daily summer seasonal service is scheduled to start on 16 May until 30 September 2010.
Delta’s Manchester-JFK flights are scheduled to end on 8 January. The airline blamed a drop in demand over the winter for its decision.
Manchester Airport lost a British Airways daily flight to New York last year. Bmi has also withdrawn all its transatlantic flights from Manchester over the past 12 months.
Flight AA211 leaves Manchester bound for New York JFK at 11.10, arriving at New York JFK at 13.50. The return flight leaves JFK at 19.40 arriving in Manchester at 07.55 (the following day).
