American ever gonna start service overseas?
United just started south Africa and flies to India, Singapore, etc. Delta has been flying to Johannesburg for some time. American completely avoids the whole Asia, oceanic, and African market.
American goes to south America and Europe and a few places in china/Japan.
But what about the the other 2/3 of the world?

They have addressed multiple times they would like to serve India and Africa once
more 787s arrive.
I could care less where or what we fly as long as we are profitable and employees are getting industry-leading compensation.

Our issue in China/Asia is organic demand, ie, people from those countries buying tickets on us. The vast majority of our tickets are bought by folks originating in the US. That needs to change in order to be successful overseas. I think part of the problem is the "American" name in general, honestly.
I don't know anything about Africa.

Some markets don’t generate enough yield....if the airplane is redeployed elsewhere it can make more money. American did Delhi and Moscow out of ORD several years ago, but both were discontinued due to yield. The Oneworld Alliance gets people where they need to go.
