American Airlines Launches 5 New European Routes
American Airlines is gearing up to bring more travelers to Europe next summer with five new routes. The airline is resuming flights to Edinburgh, Scotland (EDI), for the first time since 2019 and add new routes to Athens, Greece (ATH); Madrid (MAD); Milan (MXP) and Rome (FCO).
- From Philadelphia (PHL), customers will be able to connect from more than 80 destinations across the U.S. to 17 trans-Atlantic destinations, including new service to EDI in Scotland.
- American will expand its schedule to Italy next year with new service from Miami (MIA) to FCO and PHL to MXP. American will serve FCO from six U.S. airports in 2025.
- With new service from Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT), to ATH, American will offer four daily flights to Greece in 2025.
- For the first time ever, American will connect its Chicago (ORD) hub with MAD. American offers the most service of any U.S. airline to Spain, and customers can connect on American’s partners to onward destinations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
