Speculation: New Routes, Hubs, Flights (2017 Onward)
Because there is community interest in having a purely speculative discussion about whether other airports will pop up to become focus cities or hubs, new routes, etc. the following new thread has been amalgamated on this topic.Note:
Going: 9 A330-300, ER190, some older 757-200 and 8 767-300ER (leaving 17), MD-80
Coming: Remainder of 16 Boeing 26 787-8, 22 Boeing 787-9 (began later 2016). A320 family - 100 A321neo, and B737-800 (100 737-MAX8) aircraft.
See Cranky Flier article on 2016 fleet changes, AA-HP-US. Link.
Also see: HELP DESK: General questions about aircraft equipment, fleet, seats, IFE, etc.
Speculation fun time: Will xxx be the next AA focus city / hub? (consolidated)

For those who haven't seen, JonNYC has been tweeting about some rumored new and relaunched routes. Looks like some MIA - secondary Brazil (REC, POA, FOR, SSA, CWB...?) routes could be coming back, and a new southern hemisphere route (LAX - MEL anyone?) could be in the cards as well.

Australia should expand if JV approved with QF- probably LAX-MEL.
Resumption of Brazil routes may be due to Brazil Open Skies being signed just recently? Also, those transatlantic 767's need to be used in the winter...

If the revised AA-QF JV is approved, LAX-MEL/BNE on AA’s 787-9s will happen. QF wants to adjust LAX-Australia capacity to expand elsewhere.

Wasn't POA bundled with CWB? I thought VCP was nonstop and purely retaliation for Azul starting FLL-VCP - not because MIA - VCP had any merits of its own.
