Of course AT can also provide connections to other African destinations, but isn't the African VFR concentrated around DC-area. In any case, I do hope AA succeeds, but it will just be heavily reliant on US point of sale.
Also kinda cool that AA now has most non-stop flights to Eastern Europe out of the US3 (KRK, BUD, PRG, DBK). 1 destination behind AC's Eastern Europe coverage (WAW, BUD, PRG, OTP, ZAG). I'll have to calculate how they measure up on capacity.

Actually, they tried PHL-TLV, but they couldn't have enough profitable. They losing the money. They flew PHL-TLV for 8 years. No one who wants go through PHL hub. Only JFK. There is largest Jewish community who lived in NYC area.

I love these, IMO, faulty generalization posts. Just a ? How many times have you connected in PHL and/or know the figuratively millions (No One) who have said they don't want to connect in PHL?? Why is Summer an "awful time to start this route"? Casablanca was possibly chosen as an initial (test) entry point into Africa, with onward connections via OW partner Royal Air Maroc.

Are you sure about another announcement next week because I was hoping /expecting ZAG to be launched.

This is an article that was released last year regarding ZAG.

I don’t think there’ll be any more Europe ads. I expect the next announcement to be Oceania and Asia (-TLV) related.

I'm not really talking about the facilities at JFK. Every time I look, the 3 NYC airports are almost always at the bottom of the on time rankings. Give me a connection I make in a "crappy" terminal over all the lounges and fancy terminals I get extra time in because I missed my connection. And yes, I realize PHL is not exactly a star performer here either, but usually better than JFK.
