PHILADELPHIA — American Airlines announced today it will begin year‐round, non‐stop flights
between Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and four new cities beginning in 2018: San Antonio (SAT),
Texas; Madison (MSN), Wisconsin; Des Moines (DSM), Iowa; and Omaha (OMA), Nebraska. In addition,
the airline announced that it would upgrade one of its daily flights to Los Angeles (LAX) with A‐330‐200
aircraft, increasing capacity on that route.
The PHL‐San Antonio service will begin February 15, while the flights to Des Moines, Madison and Omaha
start on May 4. The PHL‐LAX upgraded frequency starts March 25.
Des Moines will become a new destination not currently served by any carrier at PHL. American is
resuming service to San Antonio after a 2‐year hiatus.
Frontier Airlines announced plans recently to begin seasonal service to Madison and Omaha. Frontier is
currently the only carrier at PHL that offers non‐stop flights to San Antonio.
“We are very excited that American is continuing to bolster its service in Philadelphia,” said Airport CEO
Chellie Cameron. “Adding these routes to American’s network at its PHL hub will not only make travel
more accessible between these cities, and it will also facilitate connections at American’s transatlantic
gateway.”
“These new domestic markets are important and will complement the recently announced international
destinations from our Philadelphia hub,” said Vasu Raja, American’s vice president, Network and Schedule
Planning. “American offers more non‐stop flights than all other airlines combined at PHL and we are
excited to add to that roster.”
In August, American announced new service from PHL to Budapest, Prague and Zurich. American serves
116 destinations from PHL with nearly 400 daily departures.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
