American Airlines said Tuesday it will restart limited flights in and out of New Orleans' Louis Armstrong airport on Wednesday, after suspending flights due to flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina.
American, owned by AMR Corp., said it will initially operate three daily round trips between its Dallas/Fort Worth hub and New Orleans using 136-seat MD-80 aircraft.
The airline said it will add additional New Orleans flights as demand increases, including service from its hubs in Chicago and Miami, tentatively scheduled for Nov. 1.
