“We’re delighted to serve the Charlottesville area from our cornerstone hub in Chicago,” said Gary Foss, Vice President - Planning and Marketing for American’s regional network. “Now, it will be easier for Charlottesville residents to access the United States and the world through American’s gateway at O’Hare International Airport. Likewise, the Chicago connection will make Charlottesville’s many historic sites - and the University of Virginia - easily accessible to the world through one of American’s largest hubs, offering convenient connections throughout the oneworld® global network.”
“The announcement that American Eagle Airlines will now be adding jet service from Chicago to Charlottesville, Virginia, is very exciting news for Charlottesville, Albemarle, and the surrounding areas,” said Congressman Robert Hurt (R-VA). “Not only will the additional flights bring added convenience and service for residents and businesses, but it will also promote important economic development for the entire region. I welcome American Eagle to the 5th District of Virginia.”
“This new daily American Airlines jet service to Chicago offers the Central Virginia region direct access to the third busiest airport in the world,” stated William Kehoe, Chairman of the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport Authority Board of Directors. “Their decision to invest in the future of our community will provide a significant opportunity not felt by many cities in today’s economy and I am confident they will be delighted by the results of this new partnership.”
