Thanks to this increase and excitement, American Airlines has 4 new direct weekly flights from Austin to Cancun. These flight schedules will commence on October 7th 2021.
In a recent interview the mayor of Austin, Steve Adler expressed his appreciation for the way American Airlines has connected Austin and central Texas with the world. “As the mayor of Austin, I would like to thank American Airlines for going above and beyond the last 40 years with connecting Austin and central Texas with the rest of the world.”
