## Summary

Twice-daily JFK-Seattle service on an Airbus A321neo starts April 6, 2027, as American Airlines moves seasonal Bozeman nonstops from LaGuardia to JFK and drops six routes while slowing planned growth.

The carrier is pulling back summer flying. Jet fuel averaged $4.43 a gallon on Monday. American's 2025 fuel cost was $2.42 a gallon. Miami-Tulum ends in January 2027. Miami-Montreal and Phoenix-Provo wind down that month too. Chicago-Lincoln comes off in April 2027. Dallas/Fort Worth-Albany will not return in May 2027, and neither will LaGuardia-Bozeman. American is not exiting any city. Lincoln keeps a Dallas/Fort Worth nonstop, as do Provo and Tulum.

New York AAdvantage members gain a Seattle nonstop from JFK and more Bozeman dates. American says the JFK flights expand choice among more than 100 New York nonstops. Seattle is Alaska Airlines' hub. The two carriers have said Alaska would join American joint ventures.

Plan 2027 Bozeman and Seattle trips around JFK, and connect in Dallas/Fort Worth for remaining American service to Lincoln.
