American Airlines will add a new non-stop flight to its hub in Philadelphia from Dane County Regional Airport beginning in May of 2018, according to a news release from the airport.

According to the airport, travelers from Madison will have access to 80 cities throughout the United States and 30 international destinations via Philadelphia International Airport.

Envoy Air, doing business as American Eagle, will operate the daily flight using Embraer 175 aircraft, airport spokesperson Brent McHenry said.

The outbound flight will depart Madison at 12:40 p.m. and arrive in Philadelphia at 3:55 p.m. The inbound flight will depart Philadelphia at 10:30 a.m. and arrive in Madison at noon, according to the airport.

Tickets will go on sale Saturday, the release said.

“We are extremely pleased that American has decided to add new service to Philadelphia,” Airport Director Bradley Livingston said in the release. “This route provides exceptional connection options on the American Airlines network up and down the East Coast, as well as many international destinations.”

PHL serves as American’s primary East Coast transatlantic hub, according to the airline.
