American Airlines is resuming much of its short-distance service to Latin America and starting to bring back longer flights over the next few weeks, building off of its dominance in the region among US rivals.
South America is the strongest part of American’s long-haul system amid the coronavirus pandemic “when, admittedly, all of it is relatively weak,†Chief Revenue Officer Vasu Raja said. The carrier serves every major city in the region “and most of the secondary and tertiary cities in terms of population,†he said.
American is reawakening some of its Latin America service amid a deep slump in long-distance flying caused by the pandemic.
