Introducing direct daily flight from Edinburgh to The Big Apple
Beginning May 8, 2015, American is expanding our global network with service from Edinburgh (EDI) to New York JFK (JFK), providing customers more choice from Scotland.  From JFK, customers can access over 30 destinations across North and South America and the Caribbean.

More flights between Heathrow and Philadelphia
Customers can look forward to increased daily, direct services between London Heathrow (LHR) and Philadelphia (PHL) when we add an additional flight between the two cities in March 2015.  This new service expands our premier global network as the route will operate as part of our enhanced relationship with British Airways.  Together we will offer four direct flights from London Heathrow. 

American plans to launch new service from Dallas/Fort Worth to Beijing
American has filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation for the right to operate new service from Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) to Beijing Capital International (PEK) beginning next summer. If approved, the new route will be the first nonstop flight connecting Beijing and Dallas/Fort Worth. Learn more.
