Unlike Delta Air Lines and United Airlines, American Airlines hasn’t operated a flight to Israel in over two years, and hasn’t announced plans to resume these flights. However, there’s a hint that this might be changing…
That’s in addition to flight attendants speaking Czech, Dutch, Greek, Hungarian, and Italian, all of which makes sense, given that they represent destinations that American serves or intends to serve.
American has taken a different strategy than Delta and United during the war, as Delta and United kept operating flights when it was possible, and then suspending flights when it wasn’t possible. It’s hard to say which strategy was better. On the one hand, Israel can be a lucrative market for airlines. On the other hand, when you can’t operate service reliably, the economics are challenging, since network planning is a long term project.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
