Top 5: These Are American Airlines’ Longest International Routes With The Boeing 737 MAX 8
American Airlines’ Boeing 737 family serves as the backbone of its narrowbody fleet, covering both domestic and international routes. Within its fleet of 365 Boeing 737 aircraft, American Airlines operates 62 Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets, according to ch-aviation data.
Capable of covering distances up to 3,500 nautical miles (4,000 miles, 6,480 km), the 737 MAX 8 is a versatile narrowbody for a variety of routes. Not surprisingly, many of American Airlines longest international destinations covered by 737 MAX 8 jets are in South America. This article will take a closer look at the longest international routes flown by the Dallas-based airline using August 2024 data released by an aviation analytics company, Cirium.
Since Ecuador is a very accessible destination for Americans, the Dallas-based carrier is offering a substantial number of flights between MIA and GYE in August 2024, totaling 62. This relatively high number of flights corresponds with low competition on this route. Currently, only American Airlines offers nonstop flights between the two cities.
