PHOENIX – Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, members of the Phoenix City Council, and other local leaders gathered at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport today to welcome American Airlines’ first nonstop flight to Phoenix from London.
The new, year-round flight to London marks American’s first-ever non-stop flight from Phoenix to Europe.
American will use the Boeing 777-200ER for the flight. It offers 273 seats with three classes of service: Business Class; Premium Economy; and Main Cabin Service. The daily flight leaves from London at 9:30 a.m., arriving in Phoenix at 12:30 p.m. The Phoenix-London flight departs Phoenix at 3:10 p.m. and arrives in London at 9:25 a.m., making it convenient for both business and leisure travelers to make connections elsewhere in Europe.
This flight brings the number of flights per week to London to 14. British Airways continues to offer its daily nonstop service from Phoenix, departing at 7:45 p.m. International flights provide a vital boost to Arizona economy by bringing in about $3 billion each year.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
