Waterloo Regional Airport (ALO) is thrilled to announce that American Airlines will reintroduce an early morning flight starting April 4, 2025 to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). This service will feature the Embraer E170 aircraft beginning June 5, 2025, offering travelers a more spacious and comfortable flying experience.
The E170 features three seating options: First Class, Main Cabin Extra, and Main Cabin. This upgrade marks a significant enhancement in service, providing passengers with more choices and greater comfort as they embark on their journeys.
“American is delighted to offer customers more flexible travel options from Waterloo to our Chicago O’Hare hub,” said Jordan Pack, American’s Director of Domestic Network Planning. “With two daily flights next summer operated on dual-class regional jets, American will offer customers the choice of traveling in a premium cabin and additional convenient one-stop connections to destinations such as Orlando, Tampa, Las Vegas, and more on our comprehensive global network.”
“The Airport is excited to see American Airlines not only reintroducing the early morning flight but also upgrading to the E170,” said Steven Kjergaard, Waterloo Regional Airport Director. “This demonstrates their commitment to our community and our travelers, providing more flexibility and a superior flying experience.”
The reintroduced flight schedule aligns with passenger demand, offering ideal timing for business and leisure travelers seeking seamless connections through American Airlines’ major hubs.
Passengers are encouraged to book their flights early and experience the enhanced service. Tickets are available for purchase now at www.aa.com or through American’s mobile app.
