As Chairman of the Airports and Economic Development Committee, Commissioner Hardemon with American Airlines executives announced new destinations on February 8.

New destinations to Tel Aviv and Paramaribo, Suriname, along with domestic flights to Little Rock, Arkansas and Portland, Maine were announced as part of American’s expansion and continued commitment to growth in Miami-Dade County.
