the likely candidate fleet, 77E and 789 can easily fly this route.







I don't see this happening. AA does not have an aircraft that can do JFK-SIN. Given that this LCC crop of clowns in the C Suite retired brand new a332s for "fleet simplicity", I do not see them getting a ultra-niche subfleet for a route like this.
I was talking about JFK-SIN. Yes, JFK-ICN wouldn't be an issue.
