FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines and its regional affiliate, American Eagle, are increasing their service to and from Mexico.  American said the additional service is a result of increased demand, in part related to the suspension of flights by Mexicana Airlines on Aug. 11.

• Dallas/Fort Worth – Mexico City – currently 4 daily round trips, increasing to 5 on Nov. 18.
• Miami – Mexico City – currently 3 daily round trips, increasing to 4 on Nov. 18.

Here are the new flights to be flown by American Eagle:

• Dallas/Fort Worth – Guadalajara – currently 2 daily round trips – one on American Airlines and one on American Eagle. On Nov. 18, the route goes to two daily round trips on American.  On Dec. 16, the service will increase to 3 daily round trips – one new round trip on American Eagle, in addition to the two round trips on American.
• Dallas/Fort Worth – Aguascalientes – currently one daily round trip on American Eagle, increasing to two on Nov. 18.

• Dallas/Fort Worth – Queretaro – new round trip on American Eagle, effective Feb. 10, 2011, pending government approvals.

Here are additional services to and from Mexico on which American intends to codeshare with Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air.  American will place its AA* code on flights operated by Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air in the following U.S.-Mexico markets, implementing the services later this year after all regulatory approvals are received:

• Los Angeles – Mexico City***
• Los Angeles – Guadalajara***
• Los Angeles – La Paz (operated by Horizon Air)

• Los Angeles – Mazatlan
• Los Angeles – Puerto Vallarta
