American Airlines Cargo Announces New Summer Service to Ger

American Airlines is adding new destinations to its international network with additional widebody service to Germany for summer 2019. New routes include Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Munich, Germany (MUC) on a Boeing 787-800, beginning June 6. 

This seasonal route gives American a second widebody flight to Munich in addition to year-round Airbus A330-200 service to Munich from Charlotte (CLT) that launched in March. The Munich area is home to leading automotive manufacturers and their suppliers and it also has a widespread IT equipment production industry where customers have already expressed considerable interest in the new wide body service. 

The second new route from the U.S. to Germany is Philadelphia (PHL) to Berlin, Germany (TXL) on the Boeing 767-300, with service starting on June 7. Berlin is a hub for machinery, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and fruit logistics. “I’m excited about these new opportunities,” said Tim Isik, American‘s Director, Cargo Sales - Europe, Middle East and Africa. “I’m proud to say that American Airlines has the largest network in the world, but we’re continuing to expand into new cities. These new routes further grow our presence in Europe and most importantly, give our customers more opportunities to connect their goods around the world.”

In addition to the new routes to Germany, the airline is introducing new service from Philadelphia (PHL) to Bologna, Italy (BLQ), and Miami (MIA) to Cordoba, Argentina (COR). American offers more than 430 weekly widebody offerings to Europe and 120 weekly widebody offerings to Latin America.
