Stillwater, Oklahoma won’t be losing service by American Airlines after all.
The airline has hanged its mind about suspending air service beginning in October.
News 9 reports Stillwater will not be one of 15 regional airports across the nation where American would suspend service.
According to American, the decision was based on low advanced booking numbers and the approaching expiration of federal funding that was provided to airlines back in March.
The company’s reversal happened after weeks of outreach from the Stillwater community and expressed support from U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas, Sens. Jim Inhofe and James Lankford, the news release said.
“Commercial air service is an incredible asset for the City of Stillwater and we are all very thankful to have such a supportive community,” Stillwater Mayor Will Joyce said. “It has really made a difference.”
