Manchester gets back JFK route
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 May 16 until September 30 2010.
Delta’s Manchester-JFK is stopping on January 8. 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 Bmi has also withdrawn all its transatlantic flights from Manchester over the past 12 months.
The provisional schedule for the new American Airlines route is as follows:
Westbound from Manchester to New York JFK
(Summer seasonal service effective 16 May-30 September 2010):
Flight No: Departure Airport Departure Time Arrival Airport Arrival Time
AA211 Manchester 11.10 New York JFK 13.50
Eastbound from New York JFK to Manchester
(Summer seasonal service effective 15 May-29 September 2010):
Flight No: Departure Airport Departure Time Arrival Airport Arrival Time
AA210 New York JFK 19.40 Manchester 07.55 (following day)
