The big airlines have come to plan their operations well in advance. On August 21, American Airlines announced expansion plans in Europe for the summer season 2019.

There will be canceled routes, others will be suspended, after check-in and offer.
But let's get back to the new routes. American Airlines will fly from Philadelphia to Berlin (TXL), Bologna (BLQ) and Dubrovnik (DBV). The routes will be seasonal, operated between June and September 2019. They will join the seasonal route Philadelphia - Edinburgh (EDI).
