Operating with B787 source: https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release...ppvjWxM9qAOxyc good news for all TLV flyers |
Didn't AA claim that the TLV route in not profitable? |
Good for AA, but that frequency is pretty pathetic.
|
I'm very curious to see which 3 days and what time the flights will be scheduled.

Maybe it leaves DFW at 9pm & it arrives at 6 pm the next day.. Then give it 4 hours on the ground. It departs TLV at 10pm & arrives back in DFW at 6am. A full cycle takes ~31 hours or so & then the plane is idle in DFW for 17 hours. So they'd probably want to find a pair of 5-hour flights to make use of the jet. To move to daily service would require an additional jet. |
I'll be the happy voice on this. As someone who currently has to double connect to get to TLV (on any airline), a DFW-TLV flight is wonderful even if only 3 days a week.
|
Yes, having done the double connect earlier this year from DFW, this makes a huge difference. It will be interesting to see if this ends up being more successful than PHL was.
|
This is cool, but are there really more people going to TLV in or around DFW than the east coast? Not sure why, but I would have guessed that the east coast had more people trying to get to TLV.

As demand continues to grow between the U.S. and TLV, American is adding three weekly flights from DFW, its largest hub. These flights will serve customers throughout the U.S. and allow many customers to make only one stop, rather than the previous two stops that were available, to TLV. And as the tech industry continues to grow in the market, American will provide the most efficient routing to U.S. tech cities like Austin, Texas, and San Jose, California, in addition to one-stop service to 33 new cities in the U.S. |
Tech industry or pharma?

There was also the issue of ex TWA workers and monies owed them as well as fear of a plane being impounded by the Israeli tax authorities... I don't think the route wasn't profitable.
