Overview
- Flights between New York JFK and Edinburgh will run March 8 to October 24, 2026, with tickets on sale November 3.
- The Airbus A321XLR assigned to the route features 20 Flagship Suite business seats, 12 premium economy seats, and 123 in the main cabin.
- This is the first international assignment for American’s A321XLR after a December debut on the JFK–Los Angeles route.
- American will also operate Philadelphia–Edinburgh seasonally starting March 28, 2026, using a Boeing 787-8.
- The move aligns with a broader industry shift to long‑haul narrowbodies, and American has signaled plans to target additional secondary European cities and to phase out its A321T configuration over time.
