AA Return to India? Single Source News From India's Leading Newspaper

Hi All Y'all!

India's leading newspaper (and perhaps its most respected), the Times of India, is out with a story today, where its "sources" indicate that AA will be coming back to India perhaps "as early as this year"

Here are some small excerpts from the story

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.

<snip>

"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.

<snip>

AA has begun preparations for the launch in right earnest. It has appointed a new general sales agent in India.
