Northeast Ohio is getting more airline service to Washington.
American Airlines plans to reinstate service from Cleveland and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport next month.
In the meantime United Airlines launched last week new service to Washington Dulles International Airport from the Akron-Canton Airport.
In both instances, the flights are operated by partner airlines flying regional jets under the American Eagle and United Express brands respectively.
Cleveland has had only sporadic service to Reagan National since March due to COVID-19 pandemic related flight reductions.
At the time the pandemic began American Eagle was flying three roundtrips a day between the two airports and planning a fourth.
The United Express service between Akron-Canton and Dulles had been scheduled to launch last May but was delayed due to the pandemic.
The service was intended to replace flights to and from Newark Liberty International Airport. The Dulles and Newark airports are both hub airports for United.
The carrier is operating a single daily roundtrip that leaves CAK in mid morning and returns in early evening.
American Eagle plans one roundtrip between Cleveland and Reagan National leaving in early morning and returning late at night. The service begins Jan. 5.
