Looking to the French and German markets, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) will have direct service to DFW, JFK, MIA, ORD and PHL, while German customers have two direct connections to CLT from both Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and Munich International Airport (MUC) with additional service to DFW out of FRA.

“This is a really major expansion of our winter service following the years of the pandemic and is tremendous news for American Airlines customers in both the UK and across Europe,” Emma Oliver, Sales Director – EMEA & APAC for American Airlines Cargo, said. “We continue to see demand for our capacity to the U.S., as we have many customers wanting to move their cargo across our domestic network and beyond to Latin America or Asia.”
