Sure, its parent company just filed for bankruptcy, but American Eagle announced today that it is adding daily round-trip flights between O’Hare International Airport and — prepare to be excited — Kitchener, Ontario. Before you shrug, I have news: Kitchener is the 11th largest city in Canada.
Service to Region of Waterloo International Airport begins June 14 on 50-seat jets.
In a statement, Gary Foss, a managing director for American Airlines, mostly touted the benefits for our friends north of the border: “This schedule will allow customers from the Waterloo Region to make a day trip to Chicago for business or connect through this key international gateway to destinations throughout the American Airlines and oneworld global network.”
What does Chicago get out of the deal?
Take a look here and here for information about Kitchener and its highlights (hint: think Germans and beer).
