American Airlines To Expand In Venezuela With New Barcelona Route Taking Off In 2027
American Airlines is adding Barcelona to its growing Venezuela network as other US carriers also prepare to restore flights.
American Airlines is expanding its network to Venezuela with a new nonstop service from Miami to Barcelona. The route will begin on January 15, 2027, marking the airline’s first nonstop connection between MIA and Barcelona José Antonio Anzoátegui International Airport (BLA).
The new service will operate three times weekly, broadening American Airlines’ Venezuelan footprint beyond Caracas and Maracaibo. Barcelona joins those two cities as the airline’s Venezuelan destinations.
