Your next American Airlines flight could be on a bus

American Airlines is launching a partnership to provide travelers with connections between airports … by bus.

Beginning June 3, transportation company Landline will connect Philadelphia International Airport, one of American’s hubs, to Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) and Atlantic City International Airport (ACY). Tickets for those trips with Landline service will be available . “Our partnership with Landline is one more way we’re making it easy for customers to connect to American’s premier trans-Atlantic gateway in Philadelphia,” Brian Znotins, American’s vice president of network planning, said in a news release from the airline. “Customers can start and end their journey at their local airport, relax on a comfortable Landline vehicle, and leave the driving to someone else while they work or start their vacation early.” Landline CEO and co-founder David Sunde said in an interview that the announcement “is really the culmination of many years of deteriorating regional air service to small communities or smaller midsize communities.”

Travelers can book their bus trip through the airline when they set Lehigh Valley or Atlantic City as their origin or destination, according to Landline’s website. The price is included in their ticket.

Customers will check in with American at one of the local airports and clear security just like any flight, but they will board a Landline bus instead, according to the release. When they arrive in Philadelphia, they will enter the terminal and head straight for their flight. Going the other way, they will board a Landline bus at the Philadelphia airport. This is all pending regulatory approval.
