American Airlines is resuming operations across much of the US Northeast following Winter Storm Hernando, which brought more than 2 feet of snow to several regions and forced widespread flight disruptions.
The airline restarted flights at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport at noon ET yesterday, while operations at Boston Logan International Airport resumed at 1 p.m. ET.
Other airports throughout the Northeast will also restart operations, including Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) in Providence, which received nearly 3 feet of snow. Operations resumed at Reagan National Airport (DCA) Monday morning, with flights resuming Monday afternoon at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).
To help get customers to and from the Northeast, American has added extra flights — totaling more than 4,000 seats — including flights operated by some of American’s largest aircraft. The schedule is as follows, as of 2 p.m. ET on Feb. 24:
