Last March the 28th, American Airlines carried out its last operations between Miami and Montevideo. These flights were operated by Boeing 777-200(ER), with a capacity for 273 passengers.
As a consequence of COVID-19, the mentioned route changed from being a regular to a seasonal operation. Until March 2020, the company had year-round flights to the Uruguayan city.
During 2021, Miami and Montevideo were not connected for almost three months, due to American’s suspension. Eastern Airlines began operations to Carrasco Airport at the end of June, and currently has between one and two weekly flights.
According to American’s reservation system, as of December 17th the carrier will resume operations between Miami and Montevideo. Flights will be on Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, configured with 234 seats.
American Airlines will have three operations per week to the Uruguayan capital. With this schedule, the airline will offer 702 weekly seats on each leg.
