American Airlines announced its latest international schedule which starts this winter and runs through summer of 2021. The airline is planning long-haul international capacity to be operating at 75% of what it was in 2019, resulting in a 25% reduction of international flying.
American says its international routes will be focused on Miami (MIA) for Caribbean and Latin America routes; Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) for trans-Pacific hub; and Philadelphia (PHL) for Europe.
American will slash several routes, including 3 trans-Atlantic routes Charlotte (CLT) and 3 from Philadelphia (PHL). Additionally, 5 international tours from Los Angeles (LAX) to destinations in Asia and South America will be cut as well.
