American Airlines is set to increase its flight frequency between Dallas/Fort Worth and London Heathrow this coming weekend. Starting March 30, when airlines transition to their summer schedules, the airline will operate five daily flights on this route. This represents the highest frequency for any of their long-haul routes in over a decade, according to data from Cirium Diio.

The increase coincides with British Airways—American's oneworld and transatlantic joint venture partner—temporarily halting its services to the Texas hub starting March 29. British Airways plans to suspend its Airbus A380 services and is expected to resume flights in late October using Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, although operational changes could still occur.

Currently, American Airlines boasts over 70 long-haul international routes. Among these, the Dallas/Fort Worth to Heathrow corridor will be uniquely served with five or more daily flights, a feat last achieved in June 2012 with the use of 767-300ER and 777-200ER aircraft. This adjustment is set to compensate for British Airways' temporary absence during the summer travel period. However, for 37 days in May and June, the frequency will revert to four daily flights.

The increased frequency will last until October 25, after which American will reduce the number to four daily flights as British Airways resumes its operations the following day.

In terms of the specifics, the new summer schedule will see flights AA50, AA20, AA80, AA154, and AA78 departing from Dallas/Fort Worth at various times, with arrivals in Heathrow the next day. Return flights from Heathrow to Dallas/Fort Worth include AA51, AA21, AA79, AA153, and AA81.

The airline identified several long-haul routes that will operate with more than one daily departure in July 2025. These include New York JFK, Charlotte, and Chicago O'Hare to Heathrow, among others. Historical data reveals that the New York JFK to Heathrow route once saw six daily services, a milestone last reached on March 28, 2008.
