"We are
pleased to introduce seasonal jet service to
Aspen/Snowmass from two of our cornerstone hubs
in Dallas/Fort Worth and Los Angeles," said Gary
Foss, Vice President of Marketing and Planning
for American's regional network. "Not only will
it provide greater access to all the world-class
ski resorts and recreation this beautiful and
cosmopolitan area has to offer, but will provide
Pitkin County residents with convenient
connections to destinations throughout the
American Airlines global network, as well as
destinations served by our oneworld partners,
including Sydney, Melbourne and Tokyo.
"This exciting
announcement is the result of years of pursuit
that wouldn't be possible without the foresight
and collaboration of many community partners,"
said Bill Tomcich, President of central

new service into Aspen/Snowmass fills a
long-standing void and will make it easier than
ever to travel from Texas, South Florida, and
