According to a press release from South Bend International Airport (SBN), they have announced that beginning on October 6th of this year, American Airlines will connect passengers to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD).
The service will run four times daily, in both directions, on a luxury motorcoach operated by The Landline Company. Tickets for travel from South Bend to more than 150 destinations through O’Hare are now available for purchase. The press release notes that this marks American’s third hub to be served from South Bend Airport.
“We know American Airlines-loyal passengers are driving to O’Hare for flights,” said Mike Daigle, CEO and executive director of South Bend International Airport. “These ‘flights’ offer greater flexibility for all travelers allowing the ability to make use of the drive time doing work or streaming on high-speed Wi-Fi while avoiding the headaches of traffic, parking, and long lines in Chicago. The airside-to-airside operation offers another option for passengers to get where they need to go conveniently from SBN.”
