Allegiant, American bringing more new flights to CVG

American Airlines and Allegiant Air are expanding service at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

American announced Monday that it will fly to New York’s LaGuardia International Airport from CVG three times per day using Embraer E170 aircraft flown by its regional carrier, Republic Airlines. The flights start in January. American already flies once a day to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. It also has daily flights to Miami, Dallas and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

CVG CEO Candace McGraw raised the possibility in August that American might expand flights given the opening of a maintenance base for another American regional carrier, PSA Airlines.
