Zooming in
According to the Fort Worth-based airline's website, service will resume to Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport in Gunnison, Colorado, in December. A search of flight plans shows the route will start Dec. 18.
According to the city website, Gunnison is a small mountain community on the western slope of Colorado. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park features some of the steepest cliffs, oldest rock, and craggiest spires in North America, according to its website. Also nearby is the Blue Mesa Reservoir—part of Curecanti National Recreation Area—the state's largest body of water.

American Airlines has canceled its direct flight to Eugene, Oregon. Seasonal flights to the town, which is home to the University of Oregon, were offered.
The airline still offers connecting flights to Eugene with stops in El Paso, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, Houston, San Antonio, Tucson, Los Angeles, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, Denver, Austin and Albuquerque, according to the website.
One more thing
American will also offer 10,000 additional seats on flights to San Jose between Feb. 5 and Feb. 10, 2026, for the Super Bowl, taking place at Levi’s Stadium near San Jose Mineta International Airport.
There will be seven flights from DFW Airport to San Jose per day, Feb. 5-6, and eight flights from San Jose to DFW Airport on Feb. 9.
“There’s no better way to see the action than live in the stadium, and American has consistently kept fans in mind this season with our largest-ever fall football schedule, and now with added flights for the season’s final matchup,” said Jason Reisinger, American Airlines' managing director of global network planning, in a news release.
The game is Feb. 8, and Bad Bunny, a Grammy-winning Puerto Rican music artist, will lead halftime festivities, according to the NFL website.
