AA announce service to Seoul ICN, Lima LIM, Dusseldorf DUS, Dublin DUB [24 Oct 2012]

American Airlines announced today that it will launch service to markets in Asia, Europe and Latin America, delivering on the airline's business plan and network strategy designed to offer customers more choices to new destinations. Next year, American will begin the following international services: Dallas/Fort Worth - Seoul, South Korea; Dallas/Fort Worth - Lima, Peru; Chicago O'Hare - Dusseldorf, Germany; and New York JFK - Dublin, Ireland. This new service enhances American's network footprint and will provide more access and choices for customers in key international markets. It will also add domestic service to match customer demand through its Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago hubs. Customers can begin booking travel for all these routes beginning Nov. 4. ... |
Nice to hear. Was expecting AA to cut destinations.
|
Finally AA expands a little bit more to Asia. Perhaps more will come. Also, Lima makes perfect sense - as long as LAN stays in oneworld.
Was hoping for something more in Europe... |
Fantastic. Very good. Though in all of these destinations only Seoul is mildly surprising.
CAN WE GET DFW-HKG PLEASE??? (/rant) DUB is probably simply the BRU 757 being repurposed. |
Dublin would normally be nice, but NOT from JFK, an airport I avoid like the plague.
Dusseldorf should be good for Air Berlin connections, and thus should be better for AA and for most pax than BRU. |
DFW-ICN is like Christmas coming early for me. No more TYO connections! :D^^^

Nice to hear. Was expecting AA to cut destinations. Would appear the DUB-JFK is seasonal? June-October? |

Preferably by CX.
That would be even better. |

Chicago to Rome and Helsinki are not available for 2013 so the net gain to AA will be one new route if you also include BRU not operating in 2013.

Routes make sense and it is good to see American expanding internationally, hopefully Amsterdam will be next..
Chicago - Dusseldorf connects to the AB-network in addition to the Chicago-Berlin that will be operated by AB. Dallas - Lima to connect to LAN Peru's operations together with the strong latin-american position of AA. New-York - Dublin is a lot of O/D for the financial market during the year and holiday-travel, with a 6.55pm departure from JFK and a 6.55 arrival in Dublin business men are able to work the whole day in both New York and Dublin and flying westbound, they are able to work in the afternoon. Dallas-Seoul also makes sense when looking at the broader picture. AA definately wants to attract Koreans going to South-America. ICN-DFW-GRU is 200 miles shorter than Korean Air's ICN-LAX-GRU. When looking at the domestic destinations, the flight from Seoul arrives perfectly in time for the 6pm domestic departures. |
I think Dusseldorf is risky because Lufthansa also operates this route. I don't think this route has enough potential for 2 airlines!
