American Airlines Cargo is set to benefit from expanded capacity out of the Latin America region being added for the airline’s winter season.
The winter season changes will see Dallas Fort Worth-headquartered carrier offer its highest level of widebody capacity out of the region since 2022.
The changes will see the carrier add a fourth daily flight between Miami International Airport (MIA) and Buenos Aires Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), operated by a Boeing 777-300ER.
Additionally, daily service will launch from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to both Rio de Janeiro Galeão International Airport (GIG) and EZE on Boeing 787 aircraft. New York JFK will also see daily service to GIG.
Elsewhere, the airline is adding to its Brisbane capacity as it introduces new service from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Brisbane Airport (BNE).
The carrier is also reintroducing its daily service from DFW to both BNE and Auckland International Airport (AKL), operated by Boeing 787-9 and 787-8 aircraft, respectively.
On the transatlantic, American is adding daily service from MIA to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), while domestically, the carrier is launching a service from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Honolulu (HNL) to support interline connections to the Asia Pacific region.
“We are entering this season with new routes, increased frequencies and the highest widebody capacity out of Latin American since 2022 to offer our customers more solutions for connecting freight across the world,” says Roger Samways, vice president of commercial for American Airlines Cargo.
“From Latin America to the Pacific and across the Atlantic, we’re strategically expanding our widebody network to meet growing demand and provide greater cargo capacity on key global trade lanes.”
