AA73 LAX SYD and AA72 SYD LAX are back in the air

AA72 last flight was 01 May 2020 and restarted 12 Nov 2020
AA72 looks to be 4 days a week, 2, 4, 5 & 7 (Tue, Thu, Fri & Sun).

Will not have many passengers as

Only AU citizens, AU permanent residents and limited others can enter AU.
The number entering is limited by the 14 day hotel quarantine capacity. About 30 passengers per flight. Quarantine capacity is ~6310 passengers per week for the country.
AU government is not allowing AU citizens and AU permanent residents to leave unless specific government permission is granted.
AU international air-side transit is OK for many. e.g. To NZ

DL & UA are flying USA-SYD. UA have never stopped flying to AU in the pandemic. QF has chosen not to fly long international flights
