"Only Edinburgh sees American's mainline equipment," marking a return to the Scottish capital since it last operated there in 2019 before COVID-19 halted services. The route now uses widebody aircraft due to strong demand coinciding with events like the Edinburgh Tattoo and Fringe Festival.

Sun Valley becomes American's third destination in Idaho alongside Boise and Idaho Falls. Last year saw limited traffic between Phoenix and Sun Valley but the new service aims to capitalize on transit traffic through connections at Phoenix and Chicago.
