American Airlines announces Lavazza as its new coffee partner

American Airlines is raising the bar on inflight and lounge hospitality with the introduction of Lavazza coffee, a globally celebrated Italian brand known for its premium blends. For the first time, American customers will enjoy a consistent coffee experience both on the ground and in the air. This partnership reflects American’s commitment to curated excellence throughout the travel experience.

“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,” said Heather Garboden, American’s chief customer officer. “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.”

For the last 130 years, Turin, Italy-based Lavazza has been at the forefront of coffee craftsmanship, blending time-honoured Italian traditions with modern techniques to create premium coffees that are rich, balanced and universally admired. Today, its premium blends are served in top restaurants and hotels around the world, making it a natural fit for American’s elevated hospitality offering. By partnering with Lavazza, Fort Worth, Texas-based American Airlines is bringing a globally respected name in coffee to its customers — one that aligns with the airline’s focus on refined offerings and exceptional service throughout the journey.

“Partnering with American Airlines allows us to bring the true Lavazza experience to travellers around the world,” said 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.”

Beginning in early 2026, American Airlines travellers will be able to enjoy Lavazza’s premium coffee blends across all cabins in flight and at American’s Flagship® and Admirals Club® lounges across the system. This exclusive rollout marks a significant step in American’s continued evolution of the premium travel experience.
