American Airlines
Connecting Customers to the Middle East and Beyond, American Airlines Announces Service to Doha, Qatar

Customers looking for unique travel experiences will have a new destination and many returning favorites to choose from as American Airlines announces its summer 2022 schedule.

Starting in June, customers will be able to travel to the Middle East and connect to the African continent, Indian Ocean resorts and beyond with American’s new service from New York (JFK) to Doha, Qatar (DOH). Located in the heart of the Middle East, Doha offers a range of attractions, including museums and galleries, desert safari adventures and beautiful landscapes such as the amazing Inland Sea.

With the launch of American’s new service to Doha, the airline will deepen its relationship with Qatar Airways. Customers have already benefited from the expansive codeshare between the two airlines as it has allowed customers to access new destinations in the Middle East, East Africa, South Asia, and South East Asia that American does not currently serve.

 

A seasonal summer 2022 schedule

To offer American Airlines' customers the most connectivity to the destinations they want to travel to, American has strategically built a summer schedule that optimizes the use of the airline’s widebody fleet, focused on the most popular destinations and maximizes connections with international partners.

All widebody aircraft currently being used on short-haul routes in the Caribbean, Latin America, and Mexico will be redeployed to popular trans-Atlantic destinations next summer, including Barcelona, Spain (BCN); Lisbon, Portugal (LIS); and Venice, Italy (VCE). This spring, American will resume service from Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT), to Rome (FCO) and start up seasonal services to both FCO and Athens, Greece (ATH), earlier than in previous years.

Continued delivery delays of Boeing 787 aircraft have provided unique challenges in planning international flying months in advance. As a result, American will not resume service to Edinburgh, Scotland (EDI), or Shannon, Ireland (SNN), in 2022. And as demand remains soft in Asia, American is discontinuing service to Hong Kong (HKG).

American has also adjusted operations on some existing Asia and South America routes and reduced frequencies, allowing the airline to offer more options to customers next summer.

 

Continuing a robust international schedule

In the past year, American has continued to provide customers with international travel options, getting them where they want to go when they decide to return to travel. American launched 37 long-haul international routes in 2021, including seven new routes: Seattle (SEA) to London (LHR); JFK to Santiago, Chile (SCL); JFK to Tel Aviv, Israel (TLV): Boston (BOS) to LHR; JFK to ATH; Miami (MIA) to TLV; and JFK to Delhi, India (DEL).

American’s global partnerships with fellow oneworld alliance carriers and the innovative domestic partnerships with JetBlue Airways and Alaska Airlines complement American’s network and create more choices for customers whether they want to travel to London, Seattle or Boston.
