Effective 1Jun08, Eagle will begin 3x daily service from Chicago/ORD to Wausau-Stevens Point, Wisconsin/CWA:
AA4252 ORD 0830 CWA 0940 ERD Daily
AA4342 ORD 1300 CWA 1410 ERD Daily
AA4520 ORD 1930 CWA 2040 ERD Daily
AA4251 CWA 0715 ORD 0815 ERD Daily
AA4341 CWA 1010 ORD 1110 ERD Daily
AA4521 CWA 1440 ORD 1540 ERD Daily
This summer, CWA will be receiving - in addition to these new Eagle flights to ORD - 2x daily CRJs to MKE with YX, 6x CRJ/SF3 to MSP and 4x CRJ/SF3 to DTW on NW, and 3x CRJ to ORD on UA.
***
In other AA/Eagle news, it looks like Eagle will also be discontinuing service on two existing routes:
From 1Jun: AA4797/4799 LGA-YHZ-LGA (but the 2x daily ER3 JFK-YHZ-JFK will remain)
and
From 1May: AA4723/4565 RDU-XNA-RDU
***
AA also received final DoT approval on Friday to begin codesharing with El Al. The codesharing should commence in April on dozens of routes across the Atlantic from Israel directly to the U.S. and on AA flights from intermediate gateways in Europe to U.S. hubs, and from El Al's U.S. gateways to interior U.S. points on AA.

I wouldn't have thought that AA would have started the route without some sort of subsidy on one end or the other (Wal Mart or an RTP company most likely).

Didn't AE already fly to CWA only a year or two ago before they cut the route? I'm not that surprised to see this route return and its certainly good to hear for CWA. I might be flyin up there on YX next winter to do some skiing.
Will you watch the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions on Sunday? Only if coach Eric Mangini resigned after a loss.

To my knowledge, it has been many years since Eagle has flown to CWA. I do believe they did in the past fly ORD-CWA with SAABs or ATRs, way back in the day (like 80s-90s), but I don't think they've flown to CWA since the millennium. Could well be wrong, though.

Quoting Akizidy214 (Reply 5): The only reason this route was flow was to get an extra 135 into a MTX hangar.
Thats a great reason to start a route with fuel prices as high as they are.

I know that almost all the flights on NW out of CWA are full. They use to fill the Avros out of there. Last night, 49 out of 50, this morning 49/50 on CRJ to MSP. I wonder how much traffic this will rob from UAE?

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing! It's a bonus if you can fly the plane again!!

The avros were never flown to CWA... however they sure could have used them there. Everytime I am in CWA the flights are overbooked and weight restricted. Time for the 900 I think at some times of the day. Unfortunately the 900s can be used in higher yielding markets. CWA would be the perfect route for a Q400.

Well, it was worth a try, seeing as it may be cheaper - though obviously not in the case - to fly a plane with 20 paying passengers on it to get it to a maintenance base over flying a plane with 0 paying passengers on it to get it to a maintenance base. If the plane has to get there one way or the other, it may be worth it to make it a scheduled flight.

AA and LY will have quite an extensive codeshare agreement at launch. Following the first phase, AA/LY hope to implement an extensive codeshare agreement on AA's Latin/Caribbean routes from Miami and JFK by the end of the year.
The initial LY/AA codeshares, for those who are interested, follows.
AA* code on LY* routes:
EWR-TLV
JFK-TLV
LAX-TLV
MIA-TLV
TLV-CDG
TLV-FCO
TLV-FRA
TLV-LHR
TLV-MAD
TLV-ZRH
LY* code on AA/MQ routes:
All AA flights from CDG, FCO, FRA, LHR, MAD, and ZRH

You're pretty much correct. I know for certain that CWA lasted into 1999 (I worked in reservations that year and remember it during my time in RES), and at the latest, ended in 2000. It was ended during the ramp-up of ERJ service at ORD.

Now if only they will start service to ATW? UA has added capacity by bringing some 70 seaters in recently, and YX is keeping the same frequency with the CRJ's they had with ERJ's, which adds capacity. I still think ATW is underserved.

MAH, will LY now use AA's terminal at Kennedy, or will they stay put? It'd be great to see T8 put to more use (not to mention it makes connections a hell of a lot easier both ways).

I tend to agree, though the proximity to GRB hurts some. I think that for a long time ZW kept MQ out of ATW; there was too much capacity because of ZW's base there (didn't all 146 trips have to start/end in ATW?). If that's true, then the competitive environment should be much better for MQ now.

This really doesn't have to do with the original topic, but since this is an AA/news thread and it isn't "big news" to start its own thread, might as well...
Some of the execs from AA's Miami offices will be in Georgetown, Guyana next week in hopes of finalizing plans to fly to the Guyanese capital by November 2008. The plan - from what I hear - is five weekly 737-800s.
AA has also asked the Venezuelan government - again - to please approve their Miami-Valencia application ASAP following the shut-down of Aeropostal, which leaves Valencia with no non-stop service to the U.S. American Airlines is ready to start service to Valencia, Venezuela within 45 days of Venezuelan approval, if not sooner.
Also, once the Colombia-USA route authority decision is finalized, American Airlines will make a final decision on whether or not to fly to Cartagena, Colombia, with service starting by July,

The last time they tried (or, more accurately maybe, thought about trying), they couldn't get Guyanan government approval, right?

Another ~daily 738 route?
