American Airlines to operate new Saturday flight to Anguilla

American Airlines (AA) is set to expand its service to Anguilla this winter.

The Anguilla Tourist Board (ATB) said the new flight will operate on Saturdays from December 2024 through March 2025 from Miami.

The new flight will compliment AA’s two daily flights to Anguilla from the Miami International Airport.

“Anguilla is undoubtedly among the most desirable destinations in the Caribbean, and this is reflected in American Airlines’ decision to increase airlift to meet the rising demand,” stated Minister of Tourism and Infrastructure, Haydn Hughes.

“American Airlines is an invaluable partner as we develop and expand our tourism industry; they provide exceptional service, and an easy and convenient way to access Anguilla.  This new flight ensures that we will surpass our record-breaking Q1 2024 visitor arrivals in 2025”.

José Maria Giraldo, Managing Director of Operations for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, said: “As the largest airline serving Anguilla, we are thrilled to increase our operations this winter by adding a third flight on Saturdays.”

“By expanding our service to Anguilla, we are offering more connectivity and travel options for customers who plan to visit the island nation.”

Stacey Liburd, Anguilla’s Director of Tourism, said: “With each additional flight, we welcome not only visitors but opportunities for prosperity and cultural exchange, solidifying Anguilla’s position as a premier destination in the Caribbean.”

 “We are delighted that American is increasing service to our island from the mainland this winter; we are also working with our neighbouring island gateways to provide our visitors with multiple options to travel to Anguilla.”

Travellers wishing to utilise the new service can book their tickets on AA’s website.
