I've been hearing that alot, and I've also heard reliable rumours that either CNF, ASU, or MVD will be served non-stop from Miami come this winter. The eventual plan is to serve all of three non-stop by 2007. However, I have heard that MVD would be served non-stop from MIA in addition to a tag-on from EZE, because the MVD-EZE flight is a huge cargo money maker for AA. It will be cool to see what pans out. Though, on a side note, Belo Horizonte cannot be served non-stop unless AA acquires more US-Brazil slots.

Is there really enough passenger intrest for a non-stop Belo? United did it for a while but stopped. I know the cargo to there is great, but is it enough? Does UAL have a slot not in use? They stopped flying both Belo and Rio. Perhaps there is a possibility in a deal with them.

I can't believe today Montevideo is still served with a HUGELY inconvenient stop in Buenos Aires. I don't know if a 767-300ER could be filled daily but the answer may be serving the market 4 or 5 times weekly. A 757 may be the answer, while I'm no fan of 8 hour flights on this plane, nonstop by 757 is better then nothing. AA should outfit some 757 with 767 style Business Class for service to Southern South America & Europe to cities that can't support a 767 like MVD, ASU, Belo, Edi and Birmingham, England. AA has been able to tap a huge market in South America previous opertaors in the area couldn't but there is still a niche market asjing for nonstop flights to Miami.
