Despite the chaotic context of relations between the United States and Europe, under the impetus of the Trump presidency, the transatlantic axis remains no less attractive for travellers, and therefore airlines. American Airlines is evidence of this, even if problems with Boeing aircraft deliveries have put the brakes on the company's ambitions…
American Airlines has already announced its plans for the summer of 2026, and the new features to be expected in terms of network and frequencies. With one notable news: the inauguration of the only direct flight between the United States and Budapest, Hungary. The flight Philadelphia - BudapestThis seasonal service will be operated from 21 May 2026 using Boeing 787-8 aircraft. From Philadelphia, American Airlines will also inaugurate a flight to Prague also scheduled for 21 May.
At the same time, American Airlines will launch new flights to Athens, Milan and Zurich. Services to Swiss and Greek airports from Dallas will also be seasonal, unlike the (daily) Miami-Malpensa flight which must be maintained throughout the year. In total, American Airlines will offer a record 18 daily flights between the United States and Italy and Greece next summer.
