Steelers To Use Miami Air For Charter Services After Being Dumped By American

The Steelers said that Miami Air Int’l will “provide charter flights for the team this season, but the Steelers are continuing to ‘look for options in the future years,’” according to Jill Beckman of the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE. American Airlines in April “announced it was suspending charter flights for six NFL teams" -- the Steelers, Dolphins, Ravens, Colts, Jaguars and Cardinals. Along with the Steelers, American “dropped flights” for the Dolphins, Ravens, Colts, Jaguars and Cardinals. American is “continuing its partnership" with just the Cowboys, Panthers and Eagles, as all three teams are “based in major hub cities.” Miami Air also “provides charter flights for the Penguins" (POST-GAZETTE.com, 7/13).
