American Airlines Announces New International Routes from PHL

American Airlines has announced that it will begin seasonal service between Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and four new European cities in 2019: Berlin, Bologna, Dubrovnik and Edinburgh. When the new service begins next spring, PHL will offer the only non-stop flights in North America to Bologna and Dubrovnik. Berlin, Bologna and Dubrovnik will be served for the first time from Philadelphia.

American will operate the Berlin, Bologna, and Dubrovnik service on B-767 aircraft, and the Edinburgh flights on the B-757.

The service to Edinburgh (EDI) Airport will operate daily April 2 – Oct. 26. American is moving this service to the Scottish capital from JFK Airport in New York City to PHL; earlier this year, American also relocated its Zurich service to PHL from JFK.

The service to Berlin-Tegel Airport (TXL) will operate four times weekly from June 7 – Sept. 28, and the flights to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) will run four times weekly from June 6 – Sept. 28. The flights to Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) will operate three times weekly from June 7 – Sept. 27.

“We are excited that American is not only adding new international destinations from Philadelphia, but introducing cities that have never been served from PHL,” said Airport CEO Chellie Cameron. “This is great news for the entire Philadelphia region and to our connecting passenger base as well.”
