Starting June 5th, American will operate daily service between ILM and MIA. The airline announced the new nonstop service last summer with Saturday only flights operating from November-May.
“American is thrilled to add daily flights between ILM and MIA after inaugurating this service only three months ago,” said Jason Reisinger, American Airlines Managing Director of Global Network Planning. “American is proud to serve as ILM’s largest carrier and looks forward to offering customers convenient connections to destinations across our comprehensive global network.”

(Charlotte, Washington DC, Chicago, Boston, New York-LaGuardia, Philadelphia, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Miami) The Miami flight allows business and leisure travelers to conveniently fly nonstop to Miami and easily connect to more than 70 destinations across Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.
“We’re glad to hear the community & inbound traveler response to this new nonstop has been so strong. We’re thankful American continues to invest their resources in the Wilmington market and are thrilled to gain this daily nonstop service over the summer,” stated Jeff Bourk, ILM Airport Director.
