American Airlines Cargo has announced an expanded widebody schedule across its international network this summer, operating up to 186 flights per day.
Throughout June, July and August, the carrier has said it will operate approximately 4,400 monthly widebody flights between the US and Europe, with London Heathrow Airport (LHR) seeing the largest cargo growth this season with service increasing to 21 daily departures.
The summer schedule also includes new and expanded European service across several markets including: Athens (ATH) to Dallas Fort Worth (DFW); Budapest (BUD) to Philadelphia (PHL); Prague (PRG) to Philadelphia; Zurich (ZRH) to DFW; Milan (MXP) to Miami (MIA); and Edinburgh (EDI) to New York (JFK), with the EDI–JFK route operated on the new A321XLR.
Additional widebody flying across Germany further strengthens the network, with daily service from Frankfurt (FRA) to both Charlotte (CLT) and DFW, as well as daily operations from Munich (MUC) to CLT, supporting cargo flows across Central Europe.
American Airlines Cargo has also confirmed expanded widebody capacity to support strong seasonal demand in Latin America, with increased service from Buenos Aires (EZE) to DFW.
Domestically, American will operate a robust summer operation anchored by its hub at DFW, with more than 6,200 total domestic departures on peak summer days. Widebody service from Honolulu (HNL) and Kahului (OGG) to DFW enhances connectivity from the Pacific to the mainland US while creating additional options for cargo to move efficiently through the carrier’s domestic system.
Roger Samways, vice president of commercial for American Airlines Cargo, said: “Our summer widebody schedule reflects our continued focus on providing reliable capacity where our customers need it most.
“With expanded trans-Atlantic flying, new international routes, and strong domestic connectivity, we are well positioned to support global supply chains throughout the summer season.”
