I was trying to locate some information regarding AA international ops and wondering what is their largest destination outside the US, including the daily/weekly total of all flights originating in US?
By flight frequency/daily arrivals and departures and seat volume? I am not focused on yeild or perfromance but rather volume.

Quoting Chrisjake (Reply 2): can SJU be considered outside the US?
if so, doesn't AA have a hub there?
It is outside of the lower 48 though it is technically part of the USA

SJU is a US Territory and is a domestic flight.

Here are the stats for the week of 20 July 2007, at the peak of the summer schedule season:
London
Total seats/week: 27,440
Total frequencies/week: 112
Average seats/departure: 245 (*assumes reconfigured 777s with FS configuration)
Including:
BOS - 14 777s/week, 3430 seats/week
JFK - 41 777s/week, 10045 seats/week
LAX - 14 777s/week, 3430 seats/week
MIA - 8 777s/week, 1960 seats/week
ORD - 35 777s/week, 8575 seats/week
So, as others have already said, Toronto is definitely the winner on frequency but Heathrow blows just about every other foreign station away in terms of capacity -- afterall, the average number of seats per flight at Heathrow is almost three times that of Toronto!

Outside of the United States?
Gotta be Miami! That's the nice thing about southern Florida, it's close to the states.

Quoting BigGSFO (Reply 17): Commavia, is BOS going 14x weekly instead of 13x weekly? And MIA maintains the extra Sat. flight?
Yes, BOS-LHR always goes double-daily in the summer, and MIA always retains the Sat-only 777.
Quoting Jfk777 (Reply 18): LHR will 17 777 daily this summer, by grequency seats and every other measure this has to be the niggest AA international station.
16 flights per day - 2x BOS, 2x LAX, 1x MIA, 5x ORD, and 6x JFK.
AA is, IINM, the fourth largest airline at LHR after BA, bmi and Lufthansa.

While AA's presence at YYZ is impressive (in terms of frequency), AA has actually been stagnant at YYZ since the early 80's in terms of growth. The current schedule is 15 mainline (738/M80) + AE. In 1981, AA had 14 daily YYZ (6 D10/8 722) so seat capacity has dropped despite the boom in air travel.
AA incidently is the longest serving carrier to YYZ on a continuing basis. Uninterupted flights and skeds since 1939. Longer than TCA/AC.
Panam, TWA, Ansett, Eastern.......AC next? Might be good for Canada.

Quoting Flick70 (Reply 16): Go to a bank and change a $5 US. If you get back 5 $1 US, you are...well...you get the idea. Currency tells all.
There are several countries that use the US dollar as their currency but are most definitely not part of the US as Puerto Rico is, i.e. Ecuador. Currency does not tell all.
Where are all of my respected members going?
25 Commavia: I could be wrong, but I believe that AA is actually larger at Heathrow than Virgin.
26 BoeingFever777: They already 2x daily... AA156 BOS 9:00 AM LHR 8:30 PM 777 6h30m AA108 BOS 7:10 PM LHR 6:35 AM +1 777 6h25m
27 SevenHeavy: Virgin currently have 21 daily flights from LHR, rising to 23 in the summer. 5 are on 386 seat B744 (13,510 seats/week), 4 on 240 seat A343(6720 seat
28 MAH4546: Not really. Ecuador uses the US dollar, as well as Cambodia, El Salvador and East Timor. Panama and the Bahamas print their own money, but it is 1:1
29 Jetdeltamsy: While it is considered an "over water" flight requiring the positive bag match like international flights (HNL as well), SJU is considered a domestic
30 N587NK: SJU is most definately considered a domestic flight Although you can take advantage of the duty free shops on flights coming int the US [Edited 2007-0
32 Mia: What about CCS? CCS has to be pretty big they get a ton of flights, MIA DFW JFK SJU ?
33 SeattleFlyer: Please forgive my ignorance, but I thought by definition a hub would be an airport/city where said airline funnels a large a amount of traffic through
34 CayMan: In relative terms to some of the other airports mentioned CCS really isn't that major. 4x MIA, 1x DFW, 1x JFK and 1x SJU, 7 daily flights typically a
