America World Airlines began operating in the early 1970s with a fleet of 2 Boeing 737-200s with its first flight from New York-Kennedy Airport to Daytona Beach, FL. We quickly expanded to include nonstop flights from New York to Chicago-Midway along with New York to Raleigh/Durham, which soon became major hubs for America World Airlines.
America World Airlines joined the Global Skyways Alliance, which quickly helped to expand our product to many new locations. As a result of our Alliance Membership, America World Airlines began to build up a presence in Denver by launching daily service between our Chicago hub and the mile high city. America World Airlines quickly added flights from Denver to other cities in the Western Half of the United States. After seeing progress, Denver became our fourth hub.
Soon after, America World Airlines (AMW) decided to take its chances overseas, and we acquired our first Boeing 737 Business Jet, which would launch our all business class service between New York and London-Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom. During that time, AMW built up a hub in London and started flying to other European destinations such as Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Rome, and Barcelona. After a re-evaluation of the European market, AMW decided to close its hub at London-Heathrow, therefore temporarily pulling out of all European Markets.
Recently, AMW decided to take a new approach to their European presence and decided to start new nonstop service between New York and Paris. AMW established its current hub at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, bringing a strong Global Skyways presence to the city. After upgrading Paris to hub status, AMW reinstated much of its service to the European Cities that previously lost service after the pull back at London-Heathrow, though AMW still maintains daily service to London through both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports from Paris.
Currently, AMW maintains a strong presence in Florida, with daily service to Jacksonville, Pensacola, Daytona Beach, Orlando, Melbourne, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Key West, Sarasota, and Tampa. Out of these Florida cities, AMW maintains a large presence in Daytona Beach, with nonstop service to its hubs in New York, Raleigh/Durham, Chicago, and Denver making it Daytona Beach's number one carrier in terms of available seats, number of flights, and number of nonstop destinations.
In addition to its large hub at Kennedy Airport in New York City, AMW also provides daily service to LaGuardia and Newark, the other two major New York City Airports, as well as Buffalo and new service to Islip, NY. AMW provides daily flights from LaGuardia, Newark, Buffalo, and Islip to both Chicago and Raleigh/Durham.
