On Thursday, American Airlines disclosed plans to initiate three new nonstop international routes from Philadelphia International Airport beginning in 2027. The destinations include Porto, Portugal; Vienna, Austria; and Reykjavik, Iceland. Flights to Porto are set to commence on March 28, with Vienna starting on May 6, and Reykjavik on May 27. American Airlines will be the sole U.S. airline offering nonstop service to Vienna. This announcement is part of a wider expansion for summer 2027, which will introduce seven new international routes, such as a flight from Chicago to Tokyo coinciding with cherry blossom season and a new service from Charlotte to Barcelona. Currently, American Airlines accounts for approximately 70% of passenger traffic at Philadelphia International Airport and will manage 21 transatlantic routes from the airport once these new destinations become operational. Tickets for these newly announced routes will be available for purchase starting August 31.
