OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - American Airlines is set for its first nonstop flight from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles. Will Rogers World Airport officials will join their counterparts from the airline Tuesday at a ceremony marking the departure of American's first nonstop flight from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles International Airport. Airport officials say Los Angeles is one of Oklahoma City's most popular destination cities, ranking third in the total number of origin and destination passengers. Airport Director Mark Kranenburg says American's decision to add the new route is a sign of the airline's confidence in the Oklahoma City market.
The addition of the American flight increases the number of daily nonstop departures from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles to three. United Airlines has flown that route since 2006.
