"American Eagle is delighted to introduce service from Los Angeles – one of American's key cornerstone markets – to Boise," said Gary Foss, Vice President – Planning and Marketing for American's regional network. "With two daily round-trip flights, customers in western Idaho will now have convenient nonstop access to the West Coast and connections throughout American's global network."
