American Eagle Airlines Launches Upgraded Service From Denver to Los Angeles

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, today upgraded its four daily round-trip flights between Denver International and Los Angeles International Airport. The new service will be operated with 63-seat Bombardier CRJ-700 jets, featuring a two-class cabin.

"We're delighted to launch our upgraded service from Denver to American's cornerstone hub in Los Angeles," said Gary Foss, Vice President – Planning and Marketing for American's regional network. "With our four daily nonstop flights using two-class Bombardier jets, customers from Denver will have more comfort than ever before as they travel to American's Los Angeles cornerstone hub which offers convenient connections throughout the oneworld® global network."
