American Airlines announced that starting in March 2026, it will offer a year-round daily service between Miami International Airport and Milan, Italy. This will be the only nonstop connection between the two cities and will be operated using a Boeing 787, complementing the airline’s existing direct route between Miami and Rome.
The Lombard capital, renowned for its fashion, art, and architecture, is one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe. Additionally, its proximity to Lake Como makes it easy for travelers to reach picturesque lakeside towns, adding an extra appeal for those seeking a complete Italian experience.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava welcomed the decision, noting that the route had not been operational since 2020: “I am thrilled that American Airlines is strengthening its already solid commitment to the county by resuming daily flights to Milan. Following the launch of service to Rome in June and the announcement of a record 415 daily departures during this winter’s peak season at MIA, our travelers will soon have direct access to two of Italy’s most popular destinations.”

Expansion in South America and Europe
The news comes just a week after American announced it would expand its seasonal service between Buenos Aires and Miami with up to three daily flights in 2026. The airline anticipates an increase in soccer fans traveling from South America to the north during the upcoming summer, prompting the expanded service to meet demand.
With the reintroduction of Milan to its Miami network, American will offer direct flights from the Sunshine City to five transatlantic destinations next summer: Barcelona, London, Madrid, Milan, and Rome.
The move reinforces the airline’s position as the leading gateway from South Florida to Europe and Latin America, with a growth strategy that combines tourism, business, and major sporting events.
