Looming new long haul routes announcement (speculation thread)
A fairly reliable source on AA matters....
If true I can only think this would be tied to either, or both, of these events:
1.) Return of the A330 fleet (did someone do math and decide that even with the cost of bringing them out of storage, training crews, etc., they would still be able to profit?)
2.) Coincides with new 789 deliveries starting in 2024

Wasn't that JonNYC post already squashed last week as being fake? (about the 330's coming back).

I hope for something like
DFW - BER
But even that is probably too exotic for reality (and yeah, we all know BER isn't a hub of jack). Just want more options to europe from DFW so that I can avoid LHR
