KMIA potential

Hey ft board,

I am wondering with EK starting the Miami route if Etihad is planning to start this route as there as AA with a broad Latin American network has a huge presence here in Miami?(Have bunch of miles I'd like to use from AA- I am moving to AUH eoy)

I'd say zero chance, given the general state of the airline and market conditions.

AA partnership is almost dead - code-shares are gone, only limited FF partnership is still there (but without tier recognition/benefits).

I just booked a single ITIN with EY and AA. i don't think its dead just yet. EY joining *A would be amazing right about now though if we were to lose a USA partner.

I think this is more like a standard Interline agreement which is the lowest level of airline co-op. EY has many of these, as per the GDS:

If they join *A they will automatically get UA as a FF partner (also for tier recognition that they do not have with AA today). But even within *A many airlines are trying different paths: e.g. TP has FF partnership with B6, SN co-operates with HU etc.
