American Airlines has launched a pair of new routes to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.

American is now operating weekly flights on Saturdays from both Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago O’Hare to Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport.

Both flights, which officially began operating on Dec. 22, will be operating year-round, according to a statement from American Airlines.

Both flights are part of what has been a major expansion this month for American Airlines across its Caribbean network.
