American Airlines has become the first and only U.S. carrier to offer nonstop service to Suriname, connecting its Miami hub with Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM) five times per week with an Airbus A319.
“In 2021 we have continued to build on our more than 30-year history in Miami – reaching pre-pandemic levels of flying earlier this year and soon achieving one of our largest schedules in the history of our hub, a true point of pride for our airline and our MIA-based team members,” said Juan Carlos Liscano, Vice President of MIA Hub Operations, American Airlines.
Liscano said the company is thrilled to launch a new service to Suriname, becoming an important bridge between South Florida and this culturally diverse and emerging ecotourism destination in South America.”
American is starting service at a time when the South American country is poised for significant economic growth from development of its offshore oil resources.
