The operation of the flights is still subject to government approval.

Quoted by Publituris, a statement from the airline challenges passengers to prepare “to combine the world-famous wineries of Porto with ‘European summer’ adventures.”

In the same statement, the Senior Vice President of Network and Scheduling Planning at American Airlines reveals that “Porto is exactly the type of new market that the Airbus A321XLR allows us to serve.”

According to the airline, quoted by Publituris, Portugal is an increasingly popular destination for summer travellers, highlighting Porto as a top destination due to all it offers, such as “a vibrant riverfront, beautiful blue and white tiles, and a rich gastronomic scene.”
