American Airlines Grows Again at Flint Bishop Airport Adding Another Flight and Larger Jets to Chicago-O’Hare
“These are exciting times at Bishop International Airport,” stated Airport Director, Craig Williams. “Today, American Airlines begins flying an additional jet per day to Chicago O’Hare. This is a 25 percent increase in frequency between Flint and their very popular hub. Additionally, half of the flights will offer our passengers the opportunity to upgrade to a first class cabin.”
As part of the capacity and service increases, American has retimed their current 1:11 pm departure to leave Flint at 11:13 am and added a prime afternoon slot of 3:15 pm, which will arrive in Chicago at 3:33 pm. This omni-bank arrival time easily connects Flint passengers across the United States and around the globe to popular destinations like Hong Kong; Mexico City; New York-La Guardia; Seattle; Las Vegas; Washington-National; Denver; Los Angeles and Boston.
