American Eagle is adding another daily round-trip flight between Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and the University of Illinois’ Willard Airport (CMI) in Champaign, Illinois, beginning February 10.
The new service will be operated with 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145 jets.
“This additional flight provides even greater flexibility in travel options from Champaign, adding to our convenience for Central Illinois travelers,” says Bruce Walden, director of real estate and planning services with the University of Illinois. “American Eagle has experienced a sharp increase in passenger traffic at CMI and this additional flight will build on that momentum.” The University of Illinois owns and operates CMI Airport.

American Eagle operates a huge fleet of Embraer ERJs, including this ERJ-145LR (registered N909AE) painted in support of the breast-cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure
