American Airlines will soon add larger, dual-class aircraft on its flights out of Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport (AZO) to and from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD).
Starting June 5, the airline will operate Embraer 170 aircraft on all daily departing and arriving ORD flights at AZO. American’s E170s feature 65 seats with 12 in First Class and 53 in Main Cabin. Of the 53 seats in Main, the configuration includes 20 Main Cabin Extra seats offering additional legroom. Streaming entertainment and Wi-Fi will also be offered on board. Upgrading to the larger E170 aircraft to and from Chicago will provide travelers with an additional 22,000 roundtrip annual seats.
“American looks forward to adding dual-class service between Kalamazoo and our Chicago O’Hare hub,” said Jordan Pack, American’s Director of Domestic Network Planning. “We are pleased to offer travelers more ways to customize their experience as they travel with American to ORD and beyond.” “
