American Airlines today announced a significant expansion of its network from Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB). Starting November 1, passengers will enjoy a new seasonal Saturday flight to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), alongside increased frequency on its Charlotte (CLT) route.
This move boosts access to major U.S. markets and follows growing demand for direct connectivity across North America. It also enhances Québec City’s appeal to both business and leisure travelers.
These additions join existing daily routes to Philadelphia and Chicago—marking a clear upgrade in YQB’s reach.
The Dallas-Fort Worth route, operated on Embraer 175 aircraft, provides seamless onward travel across American Airlines’ broader network. The bolstered Charlotte link gives travelers more flexibility and improved one-stop access to southern U.S. and major international gateways.
Bookings for the new route opened today, with flights running every Saturday until November 1.
This expansion could spur local economic growth, tourism, and business travel. It may also encourage other carriers to enhance regional service, strengthening Québec City’s strategic air position.
As American Airlines expands its footprint, Québec City travelers are set to enjoy smoother, more versatile travel options. The move underscores how regional airports can evolve into vital international gateways.
