American Airlines will once again offer direct flights between Worcester Regional Airport and Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania starting in July, the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) recently announced.
The new flights will begin on July 5.
The Worcester-Philadelphia route was offered by American Airlines for three years until 2021, according to the Telegram & Gazette. After those flights ended, American Airlines offered trips from Worcester to the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
The return of the Philadelphia flights comes as American Airlines cancels its service between Worcester and JFK, according to MassPort’s announcement.
“New York City will continue to be served on Delta Airline’s daily flight to LaGuardia Airport,” Massport said in an April 18 announcement.
Spokespeople from Massport did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MassLive on Friday about why the JFK route was dropped.
Bookings for flights are available now. Ticket prices for a round trip between Worcester and Philadelphia during the week of July 7 range as low as $184 on Tuesday and Wednesday to as high as $223 on Sunday, according to American Airlines’ website.
