Jump to postToo far for an E75. Too thin for a 319? When it is flown, it is normally a 321.

AA1517, PHX-RDU is currently operating, departed PHX today at 1054 am, ...
Jump to postThat may make sense. AA for the most part has been a colossal failure in Asia. I don't think they have ever made money on Shanghai or Beijing. Hong Kong never made money, and Tokyo barely hangs on. Their brief experiment to TPE was also a major failure. Do don't see AA ever returning to China or Ho...

Add PHL-NAP to my wishlist. Didn't UA do well on EWR-NAP pre-covid? No reason AA couldn't also try it. Would make way more sense than BLQ IMHO. EWR-NAP launched in 2018 and did well.

Jump to postI do see them venturing into secondary markets in Spain, however. IIRC AA management has consistently said that they do very well in Spain.

AA has slashed 28,000 flights or 17% of its November schedule, a significant number. This really highlights AA's serious financial condition.

Jump to postSome of these seem like a pipe dream, who all is going to fill a 737 sized aircraft between MTY and SDQ? GUA? Their best bet is start with cities with actual demand, NYC, SJU, MIA, MCO, CCS, BOG, etc and go from there. Best of luck them.

A flight being bookable just means it is for sale, it does not guarantee a flight is coming back. Most (all) schedules for next summer are placeholders.

Only on this forum you’d read that the hub (PHL) that serves the most European routes is irrelevant and not important compared to other hubs. PHL is far from irrelevant in the AA network and remains the carrier's NE hub, but it will see temporary cuts of close to 2,000 flights in September and Octo...
