City of Manhattan News Posted on March 17, 2025

(MANHATTAN, KS – March 17, 2025)Manhattan Regional Airport (MHK) is pleased to announce American Airlines will begin using the larger, 65-seat ERJ-170 aircraft for Manhattan’s daily flights to and from Chicago starting in April.

This is the first time since American Airlines’ inception at MHK that the airline will use a dual-class service aircraft for the Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) routes. The ERJ-170 provides more customer amenities, which include larger overhead compartment space, increased cargo capacity, first-class seats, and two bathrooms.

With the addition of the ERJ-170 flights for Chicago, all of the commercial flights offered by American Airlines at MHK are now on 65-seat or larger aircraft. Because of this, American Airlines has increased the available seats for the 2025 schedule by 16% when compared to 2024.

“We are thrilled that American Airlines is offering a larger, dual-class aircraft for our Chicago routes,” said Airport Director Brandon Keazer. “This aircraft will elevate the flying experience and provide a greater comfort level for our customers. Remember, fly local!”
