Why the hell did AA ever pull out of India?! I would believe that to be a fairly busy route. Never seen a flight ex-DEL that was less than sold-out.
Trash yields. Air India dumped the prices. Combined with ME 3 flying, American won't be returning to India even with the planned configuration of the 787-9, which would be favourable for such a flight.
