EVANSVILLE, IN – American Airlines today kicks off nonstop service from Evansville to Chicago, increasing quality of place and critical connectivity for businesses, talent and travelers in southwest Indiana.
“American is pleased to launch service between our Chicago hub and Evansville,” said Jason Reisinger, American’s Managing Director of Global Network Planning. “Complementing our existing flights to Dallas/Fort Worth and Charlotte, the addition of service to ORD will offer customers convenient one-stop access between Evansville and more than 120 cities across our global network.”
The flights will offer twice-daily service to Chicago O’Hare Airport (ORD), American Airlines’ Midwest hub, connecting travelers with one stop to more than 120 domestic and international destinations. Operating on a CRJ 200 aircraft, the flights will have 50 seats onboard. Flights to Chicago will depart Evansville in the morning and afternoon and return to Evansville in the afternoon and evening. Tickets are on sale at aa.com or through American’s mobile app.
“We are very excited that American continues to bolster its service in Evansville,” said Nate Hahn, EVV’s Executive Director. “Adding EVV to American’s network at its Chicago hub makes travel more accessible between these two cities and provides even more one-stop global destinations for our region’s travelers.
Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Rosenberg joined airport executives and community leaders at EVV earlier this year in April to announce the new American Airlines service.
“The new flights between Evansville and Chicago are a significant step forward in increasing connectivity to this major metro, as well as national and international hubs for Hoosier businesses, talent and residents,” said Sec. Rosenberg. “This will create more opportunities to attract new investment and residents, welcome even more visitors to our state and accelerate community assets that will advance quality of life in southwest Indiana.”
EVV’s new nonstop Chicago service is a testament to solid community support and more passengers choosing to Fly EVV First, coupled with strong partnerships at the local, state and airline level.
“We appreciate American Airlines’ continued commitment to the Evansville market, and we are grateful for the investments and community support that have empowered airline growth at EVV,” said Hahn.
