American Airlines has partnered with the beloved Italian coffee brand Lavazza to offer travelers premium blends both in-flight and in the airport lounge.

Beginning in early 2026, American customers will have access to Lavazza's premium coffee blends across all cabins in-flight as well as at American’s Flagship and Admirals Club lounges.

The airline said the rollout marks a significant step in its continued evolution of the premium travel experience, noting that the Lavazza partnership "aligns with the airline’s focus on refined offerings and exceptional service throughout the journey."

"At American, we’re focused on looking at every aspect of the customer experience, and a quality cup of coffee is an important part of that journey," Heather Garboden, American's Chief Customer Officer, said in a statement. "We're proud to team up with this iconic brand to bring a rich, satisfying coffee experience to our customers—whether they're in the air or relaxing in our lounges."

"Partnering with American Airlines allows us to bring the true Lavazza experience to travelers around the world,” added Hossam Ashraf, Americas President at Lavazza Group. "At Lavazza, we believe in creating moments of pleasure and connection through coffee, and collaborating with a brand that shares our commitment to exceptional experiences helps strengthen our presence and footprint in the market."

The news comes just months after Southwest Airlines debuted a partnership with Peet's Coffee.
