Fort Worth-based American Airlines will start transporting passengers between two small airports to a larger hub on roads instead of by air.
Fort Worth-based American Airlines has inked a deal with bus company Landline to replace some short-hop connecting flights to Philadelphia International Airport from Allentown, Pa., and Atlantic City, N.J., with bus rides. Passengers will actually park at airports in Allentown or Atlantic City, check in, check luggage and go through security before loading onto one of the 35-seat buses to take them on the roughly 50-mile trip to Philadelphia. From the bus, they can go straight into the terminal as if they were transferring airplanes. Bags are transferred, too.
Landline actually partners with airlines such as United and Sun Country on similar trips in Colorado and Minnesota.
