"American Airlines Introduces Secure Bus Service for Travelers to Philadelphia"

American Airlines and Landline have announced that passengers traveling on Landline-operated buses from Allentown, PA, and Atlantic City, NJ, to Philadelphia will no longer need to clear security during their connections. This move aims to boost the popularity of multimodal airline connections in the US, particularly as smaller airports face a decline in air service. The change eliminates the uncertainty and potential delays associated with clearing security at connecting airports, making the travel experience smoother for passengers. Additionally, this move aligns with the industry's efforts to reduce carbon emissions and offers a more time-competitive option for short-haul routes. Landline CEO David Sunde described the shift as a "huge win" for American customers in these markets.
