For the Eagles season opener, American Airlines adds their first non-stop route from Philadelphia to São Paulo.

In Brazil, the airline is expanding its footprint.

The first nonstop route between Philadelphia (PHL) and São Paulo (GRU) in Brazil is apparently being added by American Airlines. The announcement is made just before the Eagles and Packers play in the NFL season opener on September 5, 2024.

First flight from Philadelphia to São Paulo by American Airlines
The direct flight from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) to Sao Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU) in Brazil is scheduled to arrive on September 5, 2024, according to a report by 6abc Action News. After the game on September 7, 2024, there will be a return flight available.

Remember that the NFL is a professional American football league? Fans travel long distances to support their teams, so naturally, the league attracts a lot of attention and is linked to an increase in air travel.

According to reports, this will be the airline’s first nonstop trip from Philadelphia to South America and Brazil. It is not yet known which aircraft type will be used on this route. But given that the voyage will last for about 13 hours, it’s very likely that the airline would use a widebody aircraft.

Being the biggest airline in the world, American Airlines has an abundance of widebody aircraft that are ready for service. The carrier’s fleet consists of 47 Boeing 777-200ERs, 20 Boeing 777-300ERs, 37 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, and 22 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, according to ch-aviation.

American operates a huge network of domestic and international flights, operating around 6,700 flights daily to roughly 350 destinations across 50 countries, in conjunction with its regional partners and affiliates. Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK), Philadelphia (PHL), Phoenix (PHX), and Washington, DC (IAD) are the major hubs for American Airlines.
