AE Adds Service Between Madison and LaGuardia

American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, will add nonstop service between Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wis., and New York-LaGuardia Airport beginning January 9, 2006. American Eagle will operate round-trip service between the two cities using 37-seat Embraer jets.

?Our new service gives Madison customers easy access to New York?s La Guardia airport, just minutes from Manhattan,? said American Eagle President Peter Bowler. ?There is a strong demand for this market and we?re pleased to be able to provide it.?

"This is great news, especially for businesspeople seeking direct flights between Madison and New York City?, said Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). ?New York-based businesses are much more likely to have operations or contractors in the Dane County area with more direct flights. I look forward to even more nonstops to and from the Dane County Airport and thank American Eagle for their wise investment in our community."
