As American vacationers return to the skies, beaches are among the most popular destinations.

And Huntsville travelers will be able to hit the sunny shores of South Florida with American Airlines‘ addition of nonstop service from Huntsville International Airport to Miami.

The new service runs June 5 to Aug. 15 from HSV to Miami International Airport. Travelers can make reservations here starting Monday, April 19.

Not only will Miami become a vacation hub for Huntsville, but the new Saturday flight provides residents with one-stop access to destinations in the Caribbean and Latin America.

“We’re excited to add Saturday seasonal service between Huntsville and our Miami hub, complementing existing service to Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth and Washington-Reagan,” said Brain Znotins, American’s vice president of Network Planning.

While the program is just through Aug. 15, there are high hopes that the service is well-received and American will re-evaluate whether to keep it long term, according to Barbie Peek, director of Business Development at the airport.

“The Miami market is a great addition in order to provide our region more air service options,” said Peek. “American sees potential in Huntsville’s market, and we are glad they chose to expand their presence at HSV. Now is the time to book your next great adventure.”

Airport officials recognize the benefits of the added service and are quick to point out that continued growth will require the support of the community.

“We are very pleased that American made the decision to add Miami service to the Huntsville market and we know that our customers will appreciate this new non-stop destination and will utilize this service,” said Rick Tucker, CEO, Huntsville International Airport.

The new direct Saturday-only flights leave HSV at 6:30 a.m. and arrive in Miami at 9:15 a.m. The return flight leaves Miami at 8:15 p.m. and arrives back in Huntsville at 9:31 p.m.
