American Airlines will resume services between Edinburgh and Philadelphia for the first time since 2019 on May 23, 2025. The daily service is one of five trans-Atlantic routes that the airline is adding to its schedule next year.
On March 30, American Airlines flights between Madrid and Chicago will become operational.
A new service between Athens and Charlotte, North Carolina starts on June 5. It means that the airline will offer four daily flights to Greece in 2025.
American will also expand its schedule to Italy with its new daily service between Miami and Rome Fiumicino Airport becoming operational on July 5. In doing so, Miami becomes the sixth U.S. airport with American Airlines direct flights to the Italian capital.
Additionally, American will start operating its route between Philadelphia and Milan Malpensa Airport on May 23.
The introduction of flights from Milan and Edinburgh to Philadelphia will make a total of 17 trans-Atlantic services to Philadelphia from airports across Europe. Passengers will be able to connect to more than 80 destinations across the U.S. from the City of Brotherly Love.
Plans also exist for the seasonal services to Copenhagen, Naples and Nice – launched in 2024 – to return in the summer of 2025.
The frequency of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Barcelona service will become daily on March 30, as will the Philadelphia-Athens route. American’s Philadelphia- Naples service becomes daily on May 5 while the Miami-Paris Charles de Gaulle, so far a seasonal route over winter, will be extended into the summer of 2025.
“We look forward to providing customers more ways to visit their favourite destinations in Europe next summer. Resuming service to Edinburgh and adding new routes to other popular destinations across the continent will offer customers convenient access from American’s industry-leading domestic network to all that Europe has to offer,” said Brian Znotins, Senior Vice President of Network and Schedule Planning at American Airlines.
Tickets will be available for purchase starting September 9 via the American Airlines’ website and mobile app
