Back in August, when the airline stopped flights, it was reported to be temporary.
I have been in contact with Sean Scanlon at @FlyTweed and understand this is a short-term financial decision by American Airlines. We are looking forward to the relaunch of service as Tweed is an important asset to New Haven. https://t.co/KTu3fqFjUE
