The Chattanooga Airport has gained another connection to Chicago courtesy of American Airlines.

The carrier launched its inaugural flight to the Windy City on Monday afternoon. It will operate twice daily, departing Chattanooga at 7:25 a.m. and 5 p.m.

American will be the second airline to offer nonstop service to Chicago from Chattanooga. United Airlines recently increased its daily flights from three to five.

Chattanooga Airport CEO April Cameron said Chicago is one of the most sought after hubs. Having two airlines going to the same market will add competition, which is good for local travelers, she said.
