American Airlines has announced the suspension of six transatlantic routes for the upcoming winter season, citing lower demand for European travel during this period. The airline will redirect its capacity towards South America, where there is higher demand during the colder months in the United States.
The routes affected include New York (JFK) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Dallas Fort/Worth (DFW) to Frankfurt (FRA), Philadelphia (PHL) to Zurich (ZRH), New York (JFK) to Milan Malpensa (MXP), Charlotte (CLT) to Munich (MUC), and New York (JFK) to Madrid (MAD). The longest suspension will be on the JFK-CDG route, from January 6, 2025, to March 4, 2025.
According to Cirium data, other suspensions will last less than a month. For example, the PHL-ZRH route will be suspended from January 5 until January 29, 2026. Similarly, the JFK-MXP route will be temporarily halted from January 5 until January 29, 2026.
