AMERICAN AIRLINES TO RETURN TWICE DAILY SERVICE  TO CHICAGO O'HARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

WATERLOO, IA Recently, American Airlines provided notice to City and Airport officials regarding the return of twice-daily airline service to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, beginning Tuesday, July 7th.

Airport officials are optimistic that passengers throughout the Greater Cedar Valley Region will support the service with a growing number of passengers, to not just support the continued operation of the new schedule, but also to provide renewed confidence to officials at American Airlines that Waterloo can support the flight schedule, as published.  The schedule is as follows:

Quentin Hart, provided comment, “As the Mayor of Waterloo, I would like to say thanks to American Airlines for their decision to return Waterloo’s daily and two-departure schedule. As Waterloo and Northeast Iowa continues its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, having a dependable flight schedule with frequency is a very important part for the bounce-back of the Cedar Valley economy.”   

Keith Kaspari, Airport Director at Waterloo Regional Airport, provided comment, “In this very difficult time for the airline industry, the return of Waterloo’s new and twice-daily schedule is excellent news for the entire Cedar Valley for either business or leisure travel.  Thank you, AA!”  

Kaspari continued, “I especially like the decision by American officials to provide a balanced schedule for both early morning and early afternoon departures, to allow for maximizing the number of flight connections once the aircraft arrives in Chicago. But also the return schedules with aircraft arrival times allowing for either business or leisure passengers to decide on what arrival time back to Waterloo works best in their travel schedule.”

In closing, Kaspari looks forward to Cedar Valley passengers supporting the service after multiple months of sheltering at home, and now is time to enjoy and take advantage of the many benefits that American’s extensive domestic and international network of cities provides to area passengers, in contrast with flying from other regional airports in Iowa, or larger airports in Minnesota, so that we can exceed the expectations of officials at American for their decision to return a full airline schedule back to ALO.
