American Airlines has announced plans to launch five new routes to European cities as part of its summer 2026 schedule.

The new routes include a year-round daily service between Miami and Milan, Italy, which is scheduled to begin on 29 March. This will complement American¡¯s new flights from Miami to Rome that launched last month.

The US carrier is also planning four seasonal summer routes, including services from its Dallas Fort Worth base to Athens and Zurich next summer, as well as flights from Philadelphia to both Budapest and Prague. All these routes are due to start on 21 May 2026.

Brian Znotins, American Airlines¡¯ senior vice president of network and schedule planning, said: ¡°Customers continue to tell us that Europe is where they want to go each summer and these new routes make it even easier to cross the Atlantic in 2026. We are excited to grow our network to new destinations like Prague and Budapest.¡±

The airline plans to use Boeing 787-8 aircraft on most of the new European services next summer, apart from Dallas-Zurich where Boeing 777-200s will be deployed on the route, which is scheduled to run from 21 May to 4 August.

American¡¯s European expansion in 2026 follows the introduction of five new routes to the continent this summer.
