FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines Cargo is announcing its winter widebody schedule with new routes and increases for the 2024/2025 winter season.
The carrier also recently achieved re-certification of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), which were first certified in 2021, and still maintains certification of Miami International Airport (MIA) and its headquarters.
Out of Latin America, American is introducing new seasonal service from Rio de Janeiro Galeão International Airport (GIG) to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) on a Boeing 787-8 aircraft, as well as expanded daily service to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The carrier is also strategically utilizing its hub at Miami International Airport (MIA) by increasing service from São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) and Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) to up to three times daily. Overall, the carrier is adding nearly 200 roundtrip widebody departures out of Latin America compared to the previous winter season.
Across the Pacific, American is launching inaugural service from Brisbane Airport (BNE) to DFW, marking the longest non-stop flight in the carrier’s network. Also new this season is service from Tokyo-Haneda Airport (HND) to JFK, following a successful summer launch. Both routes will operate with Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The carrier will also roll out increased frequencies compared to the previous winter season with daily service from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to DFW for the full period and an earlier start for Auckland International Airport (AKL) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at the beginning of December. Overall, the Pacific entity is seeing an increase of more than 150 roundtrip widebody flights compared to the previous winter season.
The carrier’s Trans-Atlantic network also remains strong heading into this winter season. From Barcelona, American will operate daily service to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) for the entire season. American will continue to operate more widebody departures from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) than any other U.S. airline.
“We look forward to entering this winter season with a robust global widebody network to support our customers, including some new routes and increased frequencies,” says Roger Samways, Vice President of Commercial for American Airlines Cargo. “In particular, we are excited about connecting DFW and GIG with new, non-stop service and expanding our reach across the Pacific to BNE. This winter schedule enables us to further connect freight across five continents as we focus on maximizing our network to meet the global needs of the industry.”
