I also doubt there will be many new A319s built when the lines are booked with the greater profit A321s. That may open the window for the A220-300.

Recent State of the Airline industry conference where all 3 CEOs present and take questions - Isom alluded that the 777-200s were sticking around for a while due to no adequate replacements.
So we can scrap the rumor of the 772s leaving…. For now.

The last I heard, AA was looking at another life extension and planning on keeping all current A32F aircraft through 2030. But, no longer actively looking for used ones.

I really don’t think they want to acquire anything new right now. Isom has said our mainline and regional utilization isn’t high enough, adding more jets won’t help that. If they make a play on spirit’s 319s, then I guess they have a plan. Paying down the debt is issue 1 for them.

Domination of the smaller markets of Europe seem to be the goal moving forward, and nothing in Asia. Shannon, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Brussels, Hamburg, Edinburgh, etc... are all on the menu.

Amsterdam? On the A321XLR? Amsterdam is flooded of Delta flights out of the USA. Anyway, hope that’s true. It’d be great to have more AA flights to AMS.
