Even before the airline declared bankruptcy in 2011 and entered into merger talks with US Airways expected to be completed soon, American Airlines was pulling back from second-tier cities to focus on its five biggest domestic markets: Dallas-Fort Worth, where the airline is based, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.
These five cities are also the only destinations American will fly to nonstop from Boston after it drops its London service. The carrier also operates seasonal service between Boston and Paris.
Old news, they have been cutting flights for years. The London service on 757s is hideous, they've cut back flying to LAX and are using smaller 738/757 in lieu of 763s.
