American Airlines will wind down its Landline motorcoach service at Chicago O’Hare later this year.
The carrier confirmed Monday that it will no longer offer ground transportation between O’Hare and South Bend, Indiana, and Rockford, Illinois.
American said its connection to South Bend will transition to scheduled air service, launching Oct. 5. Flights will operate three times daily, using regional aircraft.
Service to Rockford, meanwhile, will be discontinued, and customers will be offered refunds or alternate travel arrangements.
“American routinely evaluates its regional network to provide optimal connections for our customers traveling across our global network,” the carrier said in a statement. “As part of this, we will be winding down our operations with Landline at Chicago O’Hare International Airport this fall. We thank Landline for their partnership connecting customers to one of our largest hubs.”
American said it will continue its partnership with Landline at Philadelphia International Airport. The company currently offers motorcoach service between Philadelphia and Allentown/Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Trenton-Mercer, New Jersey, Wilmington, Delaware, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania.
