AA applies for new SDQ routes

[MAH4546]

American Airlines/American Eagle have applied with Dominican aviation authorities to begin non-service from Santo Domingo to Aruba, Caracas, Curacao, and Port Au Prince. Daily service to AUA and CUR and 2x daily to PAP will likely start in July. Daily service to CCS will probably take longer to start, because Venezuela takes too long approving new routes (Miami-Valencia, for exmaple, has yet to be approved).

They currently serve SDQ from Boston, Miami, New York City, San Juan, and St. Maarten.

looks like AA wants to be an inter-island carrier now too.

Will this be on ATRs or mainline jets?

...again.

Increasing mainline flying might require a recall. Does that answer your question?

Yeah. I can see it now. Eagle will take the routes until mid 08 and then suddenly.....presto mainline.

Any new routes would be at the expence of current service somewhere else in the system. With the loss of the TWA 757s and no new additional a/c coming on line anytime soon, I think its safe to say this is going to be eagle (executive) flying.

Hey Mark,

Do you have a link to this application? I'm surprised AA has not put out a press release on this already.

They're probably holding onto it until next week....

"Never mind all those parked aircraft... just look where we're flying next!"

MCI, he just likes to run his mouth, or should I say his fingers.

It was a fictitious quote by AA, not an assertion that he still works for AMR. B)

Oh, I remember -- every time I open up my direct deposit receipt or check my bank balance and don't see a negative number.

Any news on AA's application for intra island service?

What about the 767's and the 757 parked at MCI?
