American Airlines launches Rome service and largest summer schedule ever at MIA

The airline joined county officials to mark American's fifth European destination from MIA with a ribbon-cutting event at the gate

Today, American Airlines launched new service from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Rome (FCO), just in time for the airline's largest summer schedule in MIA history. American and Miami-Dade County stakeholders hosted an event to celebrate the new route, complete with Italian food and traditional entertainment for customers to enjoy ahead of the historic flight.

"

American Airlines has been an essential driver of MIA's global success, and with this bold expansion to Rome, they're once again proving their commitment to our community, our economy, and our place on the world stage. This new connection opens the door for more international travelers to experience everything Miami-Dade has to offer. I'm proud to celebrate this major milestone for both MIA and American Airlines that strengthens our county's position as a premier global destination.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.
"

The airline will operate more than 37,200 flights from MIA this summer between May 16 and Sept. 2. That's part of more than 715,000 flights systemwide over the course of the summer - which comes out to five flights a minute. American will also increase flying from MIA to popular destinations this summer, including Chicago (ORD), Las Vegas (LAS), Montego Bay (MBJ), Los Angeles (LAX) and New York (LGA). The airline serves 170 destinations from MIA, including 90 unique destinations served exclusively by American at MIA.

"

American is stronger than ever before in Miami with our largest summer schedule on record and an industry-leading international network, reinforced by new service to Rome today. Our sustained growth is not only a testament to our focus on our customers, but it represents our team's ability to execute on a record-breaking schedule and signifies the strength of Miami-Dade, bolstered by our 35-year legacy as its hometown airline. I'm proud of the critical role we play in connecting Miami to the world and vice versa, making the region a more desirable place to live, visit, conduct business and attract a global audience for major events.

American's Vice President of MIA Operations Juan Carlos Liscano.
