Fort Worth, Texas — American Airlines Group (Nasdaq: AAL) continues to build a network like no other with more nonstop international operations in 2024. Get ready to explore ancient ruins, mystical cenotes, diverse landscapes and white-sand beaches with new service to Tulum, Mexico (TQO), launching next spring.

Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Tokyo’s Haneda Airport (HND).
Pending approval, American’s new service will operate year-round with one daily frequency.

American’s application is the only accretive service between the United States and Japan proposed by a U.S. carrier.
Starting March 28, American will offer four daily nonstop flights to TQO. With one-stop connections from more than 200 destinations, American will offer unparalleled nationwide connectivity to the Riviera Maya. New flights to Tulum build on American’s record winter service to nearby Cancun (CUN), where the airline operates up to 40 peak-day departures to 18 U.S. destinations. American’s flights to Tulum will operate on Boeing 737 aircraft, offering high-speed Wi-Fi, a large selection of streaming entertainment, and in-seat power for all customers.
