They began in 2024 or will do so in 2025.
Los Angeles’ European airlines
The latest information as of December 4 indicates that 19 European carriers will serve Los Angeles. Technically, there are 20, as troubled Norse Atlantic has flights using its Norwegian and UK air operator certificates. However, it is the same brand and is included as one airline here.
Passenger traffic increased but from lower fares.
TAP Air Portugal last served Los Angeles in 1990, when Lisbon flights stopped in Terceira. In May 2025, Lisbon-Los Angeles will have nonstop flights for the first time.
The Portuguese capital is Los Angeles’ third-largest unserved European market, with 79,000 roundtrip point-to-point passengers in the year to July 2024. While not large enough to make the US’s top 10 unserved long-haul routes list, it is nonetheless significant. Many passengers will also connect in Lisbon to Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, and more.
A first look at the plan for July 2025
The airlines are summarized below. They include Condor, French bee, ITA Airways, and Norse Atlantic, with the quartet of carriers inaugurating their first Los Angeles service in 2022 (ITA succeeded Alitalia, which flew there until 2020).

Norse Atlantic will begin Rome-Los Angeles, its fourth route to the Californian airport and the airline’s longest service networkwide. Eight incumbent carriers have increased Los Angeles flights year-on-year, perhaps most notably Turkish Airlines, whose Istanbul operation will now be up to triple daily.
As always, aircraft may change, and schedules may be fine-tuned. Nonetheless, the following list summarizes what is expected in July 2025 as of December 4.
Aer Lingus: Dublin; daily A330-300 Air France: Paris CDG; four daily A350-900/777-300ER (up from 26 weekly in July 2024); one daily service continues to Tahiti Austrian: Vienna; daily 777-200ER (up from six weekly in July 2024) British Airways: London Heathrow; triple daily 777-300ER/A380 Condor: Frankfurt; daily A330neo Finnair: Helsinki; five times weekly A350-900 (up from three times weekly in July 2024) French bee: Paris CDG; daily A350-900 (up from six times weekly in July 2024) Iberia: Madrid; daily A350-900 ITA Airways: Rome Fiumicino; daily A350-900 KLM: Amsterdam; double daily 787-10/787-9/777-200ER (up from 13 weekly in July 2024) Level: Barcelona; daily A330-200 LOT Polish: Warsaw; daily 787-8 (up from six times weekly 787-8/787-9 in July 2024) Lufthansa: Frankfurt, 12 times weekly 747-8/A340-300; Munich, daily A380 Norse Atlantic: London Gatwick, six times weekly 787-9; Oslo, three times weekly 787-9 (up from twice-weekly in July 2024); Paris CDG, six times weekly 787-9; Rome Fiumicino, new; begins April 1, 2025; five times weekly in July 2025 787-9 SAS: Copenhagen; daily A350-900 SWISS: Zurich; daily 777-300ER TAP Air Portugal: Lisbon; new; begins May 16, 2025; four times weekly A330neo in July 2025 Turkish Airlines: Istanbul; 17 times weekly 777-300ER/787-9 (up from double daily in July 2024) Virgin Atlantic: triple daily A350-1000/787-9

Which European airlines have gone?
Since 2014, Los Angeles has lost nine European carriers, as shown below. They include Icelandic low-cost carrier WOW Air, which flew its A330-300s to Los Angeles between June 2016 and January 2019. Excessive expansion (it flew to 17 US airports in its short existence!) and a move into widebody operations were two reasons for its demise.
Aeroflot: 2022 (sanctions due to the Ukraine war) airberlin: 2017 (defunct) Air Italy: 2019 (defunct) Alitalia: 2020 (defunct; replaced by ITA Airways) Norwegian: 2020 (ended long-haul flying, which resulted in Norse Atlantic’s birth) Thomas Cook: 2019 (defunct) Transaero: 2015 (defunct) WOW Air: 2019 (defunct, which resulted in PLAY starting, although it does not fly to Los Angeles) XL Airways France: 2019 (defunct)
