American Airlines plans to add nearly 100 nonstop flights between Tulsa International Airport and Miami, increasing service on a route where American is the only nonstop carrier.
The expanded service will begin Dec. 17, KTUL reported. KTOK reported the start date as Dec. 17, 2027. KTUL and News On 6 did not specify a year. All three outlets described the additional flights as part of the 2027 schedule.
That's a sharp change from the current setup. Nonstop flights between Tulsa and Miami operate only on Saturdays as of early November, with daily service available during peak summer months, according to News On 6.
Under the expanded schedule, the route will operate daily from mid-December through January, six days a week in February and most of March, and daily again from April 6 through Aug. 9, Tulsa International Airport told News On 6.
Tulsa International Airport said the expansion gives travelers more opportunities to plan South Florida trips, catch a cruise out of PortMiami or connect to destinations throughout the Caribbean and South America, KTUL reported.
The announcement follows several recent route additions at Tulsa International Airport. Sun Country Airlines launched twice-weekly seasonal service to Cancun and Minneapolis in May 2026. Alaska Airlines began daily nonstop flights to Seattle and San Diego in March 2026.
Alexis Higgins, CEO of Tulsa International Airport, has led the airport's push to add routes. In a May 2026 airport statement marking the Sun Country launch, Higgins said, "Launching international commercial service has been years in the making …"
The cited reports do not detail the schedule after Aug. 9. The Dec. 17 start date is the next milestone for travelers watching the route.
