Edinburgh to Philadelphia route is back on track, folks! American Airlines decided to return to the capital and resume its summer service between Edinburgh and Philadelphia this past Saturday. The service is scheduled to run from 24 May to 5 October, using a Boeing 787-800 aircraft. This marks the airline’s comeback to Scotland’s capital after a hiatus since 2019. Edinburgh Airport is buzzing with excitement as it reconnects to all its pre-Covid transatlantic routes, with additional flights being added to the schedule.
The airport, which is part of the VINCI Airports network, is leading the way in providing direct North American connectivity from Scotland. They are dedicated to expanding their transatlantic routes whenever possible. Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive at Edinburgh Airport, expressed his delight at American Airlines’ return, stating, “We are thrilled to see American Airlines back at Edinburgh for the first time since 2019. The return of the Philadelphia route not only strengthens our transatlantic connectivity but also marks a significant milestone as we reconnect with all of our pre-Covid transatlantic routes as well as adding even more connections since then.”
José A. Freig, Vice President of International Operations, added, “After almost six years away, we’re excited to return to Edinburgh. While many of our customers look for sunny seaside escapes over summer, they also want to explore cities steeped in culture and history — both of which Edinburgh and Philadelphia offer in spades. With this route, our customers in Scotland will have access to our premier hub in Philadelphia, from where they can connect to more than 120 destinations in the U.S and beyond.”
Not really sure why this matters, but it’s great to see American Airlines making a comeback in Edinburgh after a long hiatus. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this route reopening is a sign of growing confidence in international travel. Edinburgh Airport is really stepping up its game, offering passengers even more choices to explore both Scotland and the US. It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, come fly with us and discover new destinations!”
As Edinburgh Airport reconnects to all its pre-Covid transatlantic routes, it’s clear that they are committed to providing top-notch service to travelers. With the addition of the Philadelphia route, passengers can now enjoy seamless connections to a wide range of destinations in the U.S and beyond. It’s all about making travel more accessible and convenient for everyone. So, if you’re planning your next adventure, why not consider flying from Edinburgh to Philadelphia with American Airlines? Who knows, you might just uncover a hidden gem waiting to be explored!
