American Airlines will reinstate a key commuter service between the cities of Boston and New York this fall, as first reported by Ishrion Aviation.

The Dallas-headquartered carrier’s service between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) will start on October 29, 2023.

Here are the details about the newest service additions to the Northeast corridor.

American Will Operate Boston to LaGuardia Once Again

American Airlines hasn’t operated flights between Boston and New York’s LaGuardia since the Shuttle service was eliminated in 2022. As part of the now ceased Northeast Alliance (NEA) between American and JetBlue, American had handed over all operations between the 2 airports to JetBlue.

Given the government-mandated dissolution of the Northeast Alliance, American was left with no market share on the route and will thus reinstate a total of 4 daily round-trip services. Meanwhile, JetBlue will continue to operate up to 12 daily round-trip services between Boston and LaGuardia.
