AA adding MIA-HOU/GRR/PVD/RSW/BUF
All flights daily and start December 19th.
Houston Hobby, Grand Rapids and Providence are new.
Ft. Myers operated forever before the ATR retirement and then again as a "winter break" service last year. Buffalo also operated as a "winter break" service last year.
Also, AA has reversed a decision to discontinue Miami-Omaha. It will be suspended in mid-August, as planned, but then resume December 19th.

Houston Hobby is an interesting choice. The only other legacy service at HOU is AA to Dallas and DL to Atlanta. Airport doesn't even have any flights to O'Hare.
Surprised to see Grand Rapids over say, Milwaukee, though.

GRR can draw O&D traffic from a fairly large area (Kalamazoo, Lansing, Traverse City) while Milwaukee is somewhat in the Chicago airports catchment area for points south and slightly west?

AA used to operate an AUS-HOU-LGA flight back in the day (late 90's, early 2000's). In addition to AUS-HOU-LGA and HOU-DFW, they also had 2 daily round trips to LAX. They have never had any service from Hobby to MIA, only from IAH.
Then, Hobby got transitioned to all Eagle and all mainline staff transferred to IAH. Only DFW remained on mostly regional jets with the occasional mainline flights during the summer. Agree that it is exciting to see additional service from Hobby.

HOU-MIA is likely targeted for a 1 stop to Latin America.
