It's because of Hawaiian, which escalated by starting a OGG-PHX flight, and AA wants to protect their hub. From Cranky:
Even more fun is the response to Hawaiian’s new Phoenix – Kahului flight. American will upgauge one of its two daily flights from Phoenix to both Kahului and Honolulu from an A321neo to a 777-200.


Hawaiian announced in late March and flies both OGG-PHX and HNL-PHX.
