ASPEN — As it stands now, Aspen will have service from three airlines beginning this winter, with Tuesday’s announcement that American Airlines will begin flying between the resort and both Dallas/Fort Worth and Los Angeles, starting in December.

A gathering of local resort and government officials, representatives of the local lodging industry and AmericanAirlines executives gathered Tuesday at the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport to applaud the news. The hoopla featured music from a brass quartet, cakes decorated with the AA logo, pastries, a drawing for two airline tickets.

American Eagle Airlines, the regional affiliate of AmericanAirlines, will serve Aspen in winter and summer, joining Frontier and United, which both serve the resort year-round.
