American Eagle Airlines to Increase Service From Dallas/Fort Worth to Roswell, N.M.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- American Eagle, the regional affiliate of American Airlines, will increase its service to Roswell, N.M., beginning April 5, 2011, adding a fourth daily round trip between Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Roswell International Air Center (ROW). Eagle flies 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145 jets between DFW and Roswell.

"We are delighted to add another flight to Roswell, providing customers with more options throughout the day," said Gary Foss, Vice President – Planning and Marketing for American's regional network. "The community has been extremely supportive of our service since it began in 2007. Now, customers from throughout Southeastern New Mexico will have even more travel choices and convenient connections in Dallas/Fort Worth to destinations throughout American's global network."

Roswell is a thriving community, home to a number of military and law enforcement agencies, including the New Mexico Military Institute, established in 1891, and the International Law Enforcement Academy. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, is located in nearby Artesia.

"We are pleased that American Eagle will be initiating a fourth flight between Roswell and DFW. A decision of this caliber confirms the strength of our regional economic development, tourism and essential travel needs in Southeastern New Mexico," said Roswell Mayor Del Jurney. "Our partnership with American Eagle is based on the support of our community, and the confidence of the traveling population. We appreciate the continued commitment American Eagle has provided to the City of Roswell."

"American Eagle's success in bringing air service to the Pecos Valley is nothing short of amazing," said Artesia Mayor Phillip Burch. "The company has focused on the travel needs of the cities, counties, businesses and government facilities in Southeast New Mexico. The resulting service has provided growth and economic opportunities that were previously unattainable. Congratulations to American Eagle for expanding the Roswell-Dallas/Fort Worth daily connection from three flights to four. The City of Artesia is proud to be a partner in this regional air service relationship."

"We are excited to learn about American Eagle's addition of the fourth flight from Roswell to Dallas/Fort Worth, offering more convenient flight times for the residents in Carlsbad and the Pecos Valley," said Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway.
