American Airlines is launching new seasonal nonstop service between Hyannis and both Philadelphia and Chicago this week.

The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline will begin flights between Cape Cod Gateway Airport in Hyannis and Philadelphia International Airport on June 19 and Cape Cod Gateway Airport and Chicago O’Hare International Airport on June 21.

The Chicago flights will run on Saturdays through Aug. 30 and the Philadelphia flights will run daily through Sept. 2.

“Expanded American Airlines seasonal service to Chicago and Philadelphia from Hyannis represents a significant milestone for Cape Cod Gateway Airport and the entire region,” said Katie Servis, Cape Cod Gateway Airport manager, in a statement when the new routes were announced in October. “Cape Cod and Southern New England residents and visitors alike now have more options to conveniently access American’s global network, with connections to more than 200 destinations around the world – all without the hassle and expense of having to travel to Boston or Providence. We are connecting Cape Cod to the world.”

The new routes complement American’s existing summer service between Cape Cod Gateway Airport and New York’s LaGuardia Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which began in 2024.
