Delta Air Lines and United Airlines both will fly to Porto’s Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) next summer. United has been flying there for years from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Delta will add flights to/from New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on May 21st. Now, it looks like American Airlines wants to begin flying to the Northern Portuguese city next summer. Rumors are swirling that the carrier could add flights to/from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). More interestingly, American might start the route from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and go head to head with TAP Air Portugal.
Aviation watchdog, @JonNYC broke the news on X. While American could add Boston flights, the safe money is on its hub and transatlantic gateway at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). JetBlue has wanted to add flights to Portugal from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and the area has the Portuguese population to potentially support it, but JetBlue has neither the planes nor gates needed. It would be out of character for American to run a flight not from a hub.
Anthony’s Take: We’ll mark this as developing. I bet American adds the Philadelphia flights and Boston stays just a rumor. I’ll report back when more is learned.
