AA to bring back Manchester-JFK route

American Airlines will re-launch its non-stop summer seasonal Manchester-New York JFK route next year.

The route was introduced last May but, due to strong demand, its launch is being brought forward to April 6 next year.

American said it also expected it to operate as a year-round service.

Departures in both directions have also been re-timed by over an hour so that they will now depart Manchester earlier and leave New York later.
