Athens

[DFWCC]

Does anyone think AA will start JFK to Athens. It might be something to look especially with the "Olympics" due next in Greece.

do we still even own the route from twa? or did we sell it? i know my boyfriend goes to greece a few times a year and he always tells me that either delta or olympic is all ways oversold. they always have to rebook people through london or something.

i think AA would rather route people through London on AA metal and use their new codeshare on BA to get them to Athens....or the Swiss codeshare through Zurich.

A marketing guy told us that AA's priority is strengthening exisiting service...whatever that means.

Although I will say the most consistant rumor we ever heard when I was based back east was service to Greece, so who knows....

ATH was always a great city for TWA. And a great layover city. Security was always a problem in ATH though with the new airport things may be different.

I'd like to see MXP added,as well as GVA and BCN.The FCO service which started in May is doing suprisingly well.I try to check the DRH for that flight a few times a week and more often than not all 15 positions are full of freight,bags and mail.

I believe TWA had great success with a JFK-FCO-ATH route.
The same should be successful for AA -especially seasonal-.
I am certain AA still owns the right.

One thing is SURE.
If it makes sense, AA will NOT do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:unsure: Sorry! But I think TWA sold those slots to Olympia years ago. Flow there on our Honeymoon, along with, Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, Athens, Frankfurt, Londen, back to the good ol U.S.A.!!! All on good ol TWA!!! At the time, TWA, and Pan Am, were the only two US carriers who could do that!!!We had a small fleet of 727's that just flow from point to point in Europe!

Not True. The only International routes that were sold were the LHR routes, and those were sold to AA. TWA brought all of the International routes that we were flying, as well as the dormant ones we owned, with us to the table. Too bad our jobs didn't go with them.
