American Airlines will increase the number of weekly seats offered between Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport by nearly 14% this summer.

The airline is adding flights between the airports on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays starting June 6, according to a news release. American’s new schedule will provide three daily departures on peak days to DFW from GSP.

“We are looking forward to once again expanding our partnership with American Airlines,” Dave Edwards, GSP president and CEO, said in the release. “Dallas-Fort Worth is not only a popular place for passengers to visit from GSP, but it’s a good connecting city for those traveling to the West Coast and Mexico, especially business travelers.”

The airline will continue to use 160-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft for the two daily flights and 76-seat Embraer RJ-175 aircraft for the new evening flight. All flights offer first-class seating.

American added new service between GSP and Miami International Airport in December. In addition to Dallas-Fort Worth and Miami, the airline also offers nonstop flights from GSP to Charlotte, Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

GSP has experienced significant growth in seats and passengers over the past five years driven by heightened demand, according to the release. The airport has also experienced 14 consecutive months of increased passenger activity.
