American spokesman Tim Smith said the Saturday and Sunday round-trip flights to Miami, Fla., were offered as a means to bring Boeing 737-800 aircraft to American's Maintenance & Engineering Center in Tulsa for periodic maintenance.
Smith told the Tulsa World that the maintenance line performing work on the 737-800s is shifting from five days a week to seven days a week, which will return the aircraft to service through normal operations instead of the special flights to Miami.
Smith said the Miami flights scheduled for this weekend are 70 percent full. He says the service has generated revenue for American and has been popular among American employees.
