American is doubling down in the U.S.-Italy market with new routes starting next year. The announcement comes just over a month after the airline added five new long-haul routes.
Beginning May 6, the Fort Worth-based carrier will add flights between Chicago O’Hare and Naples, becoming the only U.S. airline currently serving the route. The new service will operate daily on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
The airline also serves the Italian city from its Philadelphia hub, which began this year. American says it will offer more seats to Naples than any other U.S. airline next summer.
Starting June 5, the airline plans to connect Dallas/Fort Worth and Venice, building upon its existing service from Philadelphia. Flights will operate daily on a Boeing 777-200.

“As Italy continues to remain popular for summertime travel, American is making it easier than ever for customers to shop, dine or unwind in their favorite destinations,” said Brian Znotins, American’s senior vice president of network and schedule planning, in a news release. “Whether reveling in the history of Rome or relaxing on a beach on the Mediterranean, American’s network will offer more ways for customers to plan their perfect itinerary.”
American is also expanding other long-haul routes. Its recently-announced service from Miami to Rome will begin on June 5 instead of July.
In addition, the carrier is adding a second daily flight between Philadelphia and Rome, which will only operate during the summer months starting on June 5.
