American Airlines will connect Dallas Fort Worth International Airport with daily seasonal flights to Rome and Amsterdam from May to September 2017.

The airline will use a Boeing 777-200 for flights to Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci – Fiumicino Airport and a Boeing 767-300 for the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol services.

DFW chief executive officer, Sean Donohue says: “One of our top goals at DFW Airport is to grow international passenger and cargo air service in order to spur new business and travel opportunities in our home region, and the addition of these new flights will certainly help connect the Dallas Fort Worth area to more of Europe.”

American Airlines vice president – network and schedule planning, Vasu Raja says: “We are excited to offer these new seasonal routes from our largest hub. This announcement is further confirmation of American’s long-term plan to enhance its global network.”
