Most of these routes are from United Airlines, followed by American Airlines, with Delta Air Lines launching the smallest number of new routes. There are plenty of interesting routes that will be beginning in 2027. This includes delayed trips to the Middle East and European cities that the carriers are serving for the first time. American Airlines' New Routes American Airlines has seven new routes. Three of them are from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The destinations are Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), and Ben Gurion Airport (TLV). Three more new routes depart from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). These transatlantic destinations are Keflavík International Airport (KEF), Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO), and Vienna International Airport (VIE). Finally, one route departs from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), with Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) being the destination. The airline says it will be serving Porto for the first time with its PHL to OPO route. The same is the case for Vienna along its OPO to VIE route. American Airlines will become the only US carrier flying to the city. It adds to a Central European network that also includes Prague and Budapest. The route will continue into early January 2028, so passengers can use it to enjoy Vienna's famous Christmas markets. United Airlines Has The Most New Routes United is launching the most new routes, with a portfolio of 12 planned, accounting for 50% of the total new transatlantic trips becoming available in 2027. The table below shows each of the new routes that United is launching. Origin Destination Denver International Airport (DEN) Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Ibiza Airport (IBZ) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Luxembourg Airport (LUX) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Lajes Airport (TER) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Valencia Airport (VLC) Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (TLS) San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) United will serve many of these new destinations in summer 2027 with its Airbus A321XLR aircraft. This shows the utility of this plane in testing new routes and serving niche destinations. The destinations using this plane are IBZ, LUX, MRS, TLS, and VLC. The carrier has opted for a premium dense configuration with 20 United Polaris suites and 12 United Premium Plus seats. This is 16 more premium seats than were available on its Boeing 757s. Delta Is Launching Five New Routes Delta has the smallest number of new routes at five. Two of these routes are from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). The destinations are KEF and Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE)​​​​​​. The other routes are from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to King Khalid International Airport (RUH), Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) to CDG, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) to Athens International Airport (ATH). The standout route here is Delta's upcoming flight from ATL to RUH. The airline originally scheduled this route to begin in October. However, due to ongoing tensions in the region, it has delayed the flight's start to March 2027. Simple Flying has contacted Delta for comment on this route and how it will decide whether it is safe to start flying to RUH. Another interesting route being launched by Delta is from AUS to CDG. Delta says the route will become Austin's first nonstop service to CDG. The airline also says the service will give passengers one-stop access to a further 70 destinations, resulting from Delta's partnership with Air France-KLM. These destinations are spread across Europe, India, and Africa. The airline's Airbus A330-900neos will operate the route, with the planes configured in four classes.
