The only real news here is that AA has appointed a new general sales agent, but that doesn't mean that AA flights to India are on the way. AA has general sales agents in countries that AA doesn't even serve (nonstop).American Airlines (AA), which had pulled out of India route in early 2012 after its parent company filed for bankruptcy, is now planning to restart operations to the US very soon from here. Air India is going to launch new nonstops to North America. Currently, only AI and United have direct flights between India and the US.
"AA merged with US Airways in 2013 and formed one of the biggest airlines in the world. The merger is now almost over and the new AA is keen to restart flights to India at the earliest. That may happen this year itself," said a source. AA used to operate a daily flight between Delhi and Chicago till 2012 when it pulled out of India. However, it is not yet known which city in the US will American fly to nonstop from Delhi in its second coming.
AA has begun preparations for the launch in right earnest. It has appointed a new general sales agent in India.
Completely agree. Maybe if fuel stays very cheap long-term, the US3 will expand their nonstop offerings to India, but I wouldn't hold my breath.eolesen said:As long as Emirates and the other ME4 carriers flying to India continue to dump capacity and undercut nonstop pricing, AA won't fly it.
