[GLA777]

Is it ture that American Airlines have axed their Glasgow-Chicago flights? :down: :down:

 

[IORFA]

Apparantly, YES. It is zeroed out in RES. for next summer.

Manchester and Shannon also axed. Its in the UK press now.

So where are these planes going to be redeployed to?

Why can’t AA make it in Europe outside of major hubs?

Dunno. Maybe they'll be parked.

That's a very good question.

Every airline lacking LHR access is throwing capacity at non-restricted European routes like it's a gold rush.

AA has tried to fly to non-restricted European cities and by and large has given up on many of those efforts.

Maybe the "the LCCs can't touch us if we dramatically increase capacity to non-restricted European locations" crowd will make tons of money doing so. Then again, maybe they won't.

I prefer the simplistic answer: AA sucks and DL is the best. B)

They will be apparently be used on expanding flights from MIA to South America.

What markets can AA increase widebody service in?

Miami to Brazil.

There are no frequencies currently available under the US-Brazil or Argentina treaties.

There are no frequencies currently available under the US-Brazil or Argentina treaties.

AA already has Brazilian governemnt permission to fly an additional five weekly flights to Brazil over the 47 weekly frequencies they have, which they did last winter. They have asked the Brazilian government for another seven.

Manchester and Shannon also axed. Its in the UK press now.

I'd love to know who made up that.

Shannon isn't being axed, it is being transfered from Boston to Chicago.

Manchster is not being axed. The second frequency that operated form Miami in the winter and Boston in the summer is gone, but the daily flight to O'Hare stays.

With the Varig website currently saying that Varig has suspended flight ops until further notice, I suspect that AA will get some additional frequencies:

The Varig website hasn't been updated for more than a week. They have resumed operations. In fact, they only suspended MIA-GRU for a day.

Long-haul, they are only flying to MIA, JFK, LHR, CPH, and FRA.

They are definitely not flying to LHR at present and haven't for a couple of weeks, also probably not CPH as this used to be a continuation from LHR.

Flights to Ireland will operate ORD-DUB-SNN-ORD. Yes MAN-ORD still operating but MAN-BOS and MAN-MIA are gone.

AA think people in these areas are going to travel to London and then get an AA flight, thats not going to happen!
