American Airlines Cargo announces summer widebody schedule
American Airlines Cargo enhances its trans-Atlantic service for cargo customers this summer with direct service from key cities in Europe to six U.S. gateways from April onward. As the carrier prepares for the peak season, new routes and frequencies also serve Latin America, and in the Asia-Pacific region, larger aircraft are being utilized which will provide increased capacity.
Out of Europe, the carrier is operating new flights from Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW); from Edinburgh Airport (EDI) and Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL); from Naples International Airport (NAP) and Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD); from Athens International Airport (ATH) to Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT); and from Rome-Fuimucino International Airport (FCO) to Miami International Airport (MIA). Some of these seasonal routes start this month and many will extend as far as October.
In June, July and August, American will operate more than 4,000 monthly widebody flights between the U.S. and Europe. Also of note, London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to DFW increases to five daily flights in April.
Among other notable increases, flights from MIA to Buenos Aires International Airport (EZE) increase to two daily for April through October.
Domestically, the carrier is also operating a significant widebody network. With service between its largest hub at DFW and key U.S. hubs including MIA, ORD and PHL, the carrier offers more ways for cargo to connect within the U.S this summer season.
“We are excited about the many new routes out of Europe as well as the increased capacity in our Asia-Pacific region that our summer schedule will bring and look forward to the additional opportunities that this will provide to serve our customers,” says Roger Samways, Vice President of Commercial for American Airlines Cargo.
