American Airlines is set to serve 100 destinations across Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America, adding new nonstop flights to Maracaibo, Venezuela and Cap-Haitien, Haiti to reach the milestone in its centennial year.
Both new routes will operate from the carrier’s global hub at Miami International Airport. Flights to Maracaibo begin July 14, while service to Cap-Haitien resumes on November 1.
“American connects the U.S. with Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America better than any other airline,” said Nat Pieper, Chief Commercial Officer. “We are committed to serving the needs of travelers by offering the most flights to the most destinations in the region of any U.S. carrier.”
With 100 destinations in the region, American Airlines‘ winter network in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America is nearly 50% larger than its nearest U.S. competitor. The airline already operates nonstop service to several destinations unserved by any other U.S. carrier, including Anguilla, Bimini in the Bahamas, Ocho Rios in Jamaica, South Caicos in Turks and Caicos, and Montevideo in Uruguay.
The Maracaibo route will be the only nonstop service between the United States and Venezuela’s second-largest city. American will operate the Miami-Maracaibo flight daily using Embraer 175 aircraft, which feature a premium cabin and free high-speed Wi-Fi sponsored by AT&T. The new service adds to the airline’s existing twice-daily flights between Miami and Caracas, giving American more Venezuela service than any other U.S. carrier.
The return of flights to Haiti fills a significant gap in U.S. air service. Haiti is the largest country in the Caribbean by demand currently unserved by a U.S. airline. American will operate the daily Miami-Cap-Haitien route with Boeing 737 aircraft, also featuring a premium cabin and AT&T-sponsored Wi-Fi. South Florida is home to the largest Haitian-American population in the United States, and the airline notes that travelers in New York City and Orlando will also benefit from one-stop connections to Cap-Haitien.
Miami remains the centrepiece of American‘s Latin America and Caribbean strategy. The airline operates more than 410 peak daily departures from the city and is expanding key routes this winter. Highlights include up to eight daily flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico, two daily flights to Rio de Janeiro for the full winter season, and up to six daily flights to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. New twice-daily service to Antigua starts October 5, while additional seasonal frequencies to Exuma in the Bahamas and St. Kitts run from December 17, 2026 through April 5, 2027.
American Airlines is also investing in the passenger experience on the ground at Miami. The carrier has announced plans for a new Flagship lounge and a redesigned Concourse D as part of a broader upgrade to the airport in the coming years.
The milestone comes as American Airlines marks its 100th anniversary. The carrier says its Miami hub offers the best network of any airline serving the city and positions the airline as the dominant U.S. gateway to the Americas.
