American airlines returning to Edinburgh
American Airlines is bringing back Scotland flights, introducing a seasonal service between Edinburgh and Philadelphia next year.
Edinburgh flights will run from May 24 through October 2025.
It marks American’s first route to Scotland since 2019.
“Edinburgh was a key dot on the map for American Airlines when we first launched our Scottish service back in 2015 and we are excited to return,” said José Freig, VP, International Operations.
“With this route, our customers in Scotland will have access to one of our fastest growing US hubs in Philadelphia.”
It has been hailed by Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport.
“We are delighted to be welcoming American Airlines back to Edinburgh. This sees us reconnecting – and significantly surpassing – all of our pre-Covid Transatlantic routes.”
As the airline continues to grow its transatlantic service, American will also add new routes to Athens, Madrid, Milan and Rome.
Launched in 2024, American will also bring back flights to Copenhagen, Naples, and Nice, France for next summer.
