I suggest you direct message American on twitter. I did the same today re Charlotte - Barbados. Loaded in schedule to resume on July 7th - it will now be 27th December.

LAX-EZE non stop
LOVED this relatively new route (pre-covid), and sadly looks like COVID killed it.
Any way to tell if this will be back on the AA radar?

I had this booked months ago but yea, they killed it. EZE been closed for virtually everyone for far too long.
Can't imagine why they wouldn't bring it back when things are the old or new normal, but don't know how we would get much clue in advance until they start hinting, like United just did with all of their routes this morning.

That’s AA excuse for pulling back from LAX to Asia flights as well. Anywhere where they have competition is a place where they don’t perform well. Gee I wonder why that could be …

Personally, I suspect many of these niche international routes that were announced/launched just prior to COVID will not be returning (LAX-EZE, PHL-CMN, ORD-KRK, LAX-CHC, etc.).

It's an AA problem, not a global travel patterns problem.

Actually UA has canceled virtually all Polaris flights from LAX. So not at all unique to AA.

I'm sure we'll see routes added. Just as Hawaii was the hot market this past summer, Europe and Middle East will be the hot markets for the next several quarters, as leisure travel shifts in that direction.
It's interesting how folks around here hold UA up as some kind of shining example. Yes, it is doing better than AA operationally. But you definitely do not want UA, which has become Spirit-lite in terms of soft-product, and has devalued the MP program below even DL, to be the carrier that AA emulates.
