American Airlines Contemplating Serving Australia

"We may want to put our ducks in Australia with the Qantas guys, but [the 777-300ER] certainly could do that route." I'll believe it when I see it. |
One of my strong childhood memories is standing out the front of my aunt and uncle's Earlwood home and marvelling at the sight of a shiny American 707 banking overhead on it's way back home. Having seen a few additional US carriers come & go over the years I wonder if there is market for another one.

Would be nice to see that classic scheme back into Australia.

Anything is possible. With QF Int losing so much money, there have to be cutbacks & why not LAX/SYD ?
Surely DJ & DL will be codesharing soon & on quiet days, instead of flying 2 x 777's SYD/LAX/SYD a few minutes apart, they just fly the one & redeploy 1 x 777 somewhere esle, but where ? This would have a massive increasing effect on fares as well, as each time 1 aircraft operates SYD/LAX/SYD instead of 2, that's a lot of seats (the cheap ones) both airlines don't need to dump in the market to sell. |
Anything is possible--but not in this case.
