American Airlines will fly its first route to Africa, with a new service between Philadelphia (PHL) and Casablanca (CMN) in June 2020.

Vasu Raja, vice president of network and schedule planning, American Airlines, said, “Our customers and team members have been asking when we’re going to start service to Africa,” adding that Royal Air Maroc’s impending inauguration into the oneworld alliance “will allow for even more connections further into Africa to places like Marrakech, Lagos and Accra.”

American Airlines will be the only U.S. airline with a non-stop route to Casablanca. The service will run three-times weekly via Boeing 757 plane. The route will start June 4 and run through Sept. 8, 2020.

The airline is also adding a three-times weekly, year-round service between Dallas (DFW) and Tel Aviv (TLV) Sept. 9, plus three new seasonal services from Chicago (ORD) to Eastern Europe.

With the expansions, American Airlines will have more premium seats to Eastern Europe next summer than any other U.S. carrier, as each of its Boeing 787s has 28 premium-economy and 20 Flagship Business seats.

“There’s strong local demand to Eastern Europe in Chicago and it’s important that we provide more service for our customers to visit family and friends or explore a new part of the world,” Raja said. “Chicago has been a great example of trying new things with our network, like seasonal service to Athens that launched earlier this year and, when customers take advantage, it allows us the opportunity to keep growing.”
