The Capital Region International Airport (LAN) officially locked in their LANding with American Airlines direct to Washington, D.C. through October 2028!

These letters were sent to the FAA and U.S. Department of Transportation to encourage renewal of this route. American Airlines officially gained federal regulatory approval for a five-year extension of daily nonstop flights from our state’s capital to our nation’s capital, which is a critical route for the community.
