A great move by UA that simultaneously hurts both of their primary competitors. ORD-BRU is likely to push AA out of the market due to loss of SN codeshare and now this added competition, and the Africa service finally provides some much needed competition to DL in this growing region. A double bonus that the Washington area has one of the largest African population in the entire US.
