American plans to double down in a handful of long-haul markets later this year. With more Boeing 787s slated for delivery in the coming months, the Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier will expand service on some routes.
These additions include flights to Oceania, Europe, and South America, according to data from aviation analytics company Cirium.
Beginning on Dec. 18, the airline will add a fourth daily flight from Miami to Buenos Aires, Argentina. This add comes just days after LATAM announced plans to serve the market.
Flights between Dallas/Fort Worth and Sao Paulo will see a frequency increase from seven to 10 times per week from Dec. 3.
Europe Additions
The airline is extending its Dallas/Fort Worth to Dublin route, which will now operate through January 2026. Initially, this service was set to end for the season in October.
Flights from Philadelphia to Athens will end on Nov. 18, an extension from its originally planned October suspension date.
Hawaii and Pacific
Lastly, service from Dallas/Fort Worth to Kona, Hawaii, is set to resume after a nearly three-year pause. Flights will operate daily starting on Nov. 20 with a Boeing 787-8.
This route was among a handful initially suspended by the carrier due to Boeing delivery delays.
Beginning on Dec. 3, the airline will serve Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand, with a Boeing 777-200ER. A 787 previously served this market.
The 777-200 will add about 40 more seats per day between Los Angeles and Auckland.
