Direct flights from Prague to Philadelphia start
American Airlines will link Prague to Philadelphia for the summer
US-based carrier American Airlines has opened a direct connection between Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Flights between the two major cities will use a Boeing 767-300 with more than 2,800 seats a week for the entire summer season
American Airlines provides connections from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas, Orlando, Cancun and the Bahamas.
“The launch of a new service from Prague is a testament to the American’s ongoing commitment to international growth and strengthening our presence in Europe,” Jim Butler, the airline’s senior vice president for international and cargo, said in a press release
“Prague is a vibrant new addition to American’s international network and we are pleased to offer Czech travelers more choice and more connections for transatlantic travel,” said Richard Muise, director for Europe and Canada operations. “If Philadelphia is their final destination, Czechs will be able to explore all of the history, shopping
Václav Řehoř, chairman of the board of airport operator Letiště Praha, said the flight helped with the airport's long-term goals.
“I am very pleased that today and for the very first time we welcome American Airlines at Václav Havel Airport Prague, at the opening ceremony of a regular service between Prague and Philadelphia. This step brings us again closer to meeting our strategy of extending our flight offer to North America, as one of our priorities in the route development. There is long-term interest in traveling to the United States, and a major transport hub like Philadelphia will offer our passengers not only a quick connection to this interesting historic city but also a comfortable transfer to other destinations across the USA or Canada. Already today, American Airlines will offer our passengers around 65 connecting flights with a fast transfer within five hours of arrival,” Řehoř said.
“We will do our best to make American Airlines’ route successful in Prague and make sure that the service can be extended from a seasonal connection at least by the following months until the end of the calendar year,” he added
