LOUISVILLE, Ky. — American Airlines announced a new, nonstop service to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), marking a record-high 37 nonstop destinations for the airport. Scheduled to begin on June 9, 2022, the new flight to New England’s largest airport offers convenient access to the Northeast and connections worldwide.
“This is a great day for SDF as we welcome Boston service,” said Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority. “This has been our highest priority, and I’m pleased that we’re here to announce we delivered it for the community. Boston is our most requested route and the largest underserved market until now. With today’s news, we continue to build on the strong momentum of the past year and it’s also a testament to American Airlines’ confidence in the growth of our market.”
“American is eager to connect Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport with Boston, further solidifying our position as the largest carrier in Louisville,” said Brian Znotins, American Airlines Vice President of Network Planning. “This new route complements our existing service to eight of American’s hub cities and allows us to provide Louisvillians with greater access to our global network.
