American Airlines to Connect Prague with Philadelphia

Starting in May 2026, American Airlines will launch direct flights between Václav Havel Airport in Prague and Philadelphia, operating daily from May 21 to October 5, 2026. The service will utilize the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.

“Operation of the direct service between Prague and Philadelphia was among our priorities. We are therefore very pleased about our successful partnership with American Airlines; this was also thanks to the coordinated support and cooperation with our partners. This route represents one of the milestones in our strategy of developing long-haul flights and strengthening direct connections between the Czech Republic and North America. We firmly believe that the route will be successful and beneficial for both Czech passengers and tourists and business travellers heading to Prague. We greatly appreciate the cooperation with American Airlines and look forward to the launch of the direct connection,” said Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Prague Airport Board of Directors.

The service will facilitate connections to over 100 destinations across North America. The flight from Philadelphia departs at 6:40 PM, arriving in Prague at 8:45 AM the next day, while the return flight leaves Prague at 11:00 AM and arrives in Philadelphia at 2:00 PM.

“Customer demand for flights to and from cities rich in culture continues to grow. We’re increasingly seeing customers flock to cities they can step back in time, exploring history and culture beyond anything experienced before,” said José A. Freig, Vice President of American Airlines.
