American Airlines adding nonstop flights from Akron-Canton Airport to Chicago

American Airlines is adding nonstop flights to Chicago O'Hare from Akron-Canton Airport starting Oct. 6.

The flights are offered twice daily – at 7:31 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. – and cost $205.10 one way.

American is the second airline to offer nonstop flights to Chicago from the regional airport, joining United Airlines, which already has five daily nonstop flights to ORD.

"Chicago is a top destination and an international gateway, giving CAK travelers even more options for business and vacation travel. We expect the flights to be very popular," said Rick McQueen, CAK president and CEO, in a statement.

The daily flights will seat 50 people on board Embraer ERJ-145s and help fill in a service hole created in November 2013 when Southwest ended its nonstop flights to Chicago less than a year after launching the service.

The new nonstop service to Chicago gives travelers "important new access to westbound connectivity on the American network," said Kristie VanAuken, senior vice president and chief marketing and communications officer.

Flight	Departure	Arrival
CAK – ORD	7:31 am	8:10 am
ORD – CAK	12:00 pm	2:40 pm
CAK – ORD	3:20 pm	3:59 pm
ORD – CAK	6:35 pm	9:21 pm

American also will add a second daily flight from CAK to New York (LGA) starting Oct. 6. The airline first added nonstop service to LaGuardia Airport in November, at the same time as Southwest Airlines eliminated nonstop trips to LGA.

The new flight will leave Canton at 10 a.m. daily and cost $338.10 one way. The existing American flight to New York departs at 6:45 a.m.

The moves give American five nonstop destinations from CAK and the most daily departures – 13 – from the regional airport. American also flies nonstop to Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Charlotte.
