American Airlines boeing 777s to Europe.?
How come London Heathrow is the only European
city that American Airlines flies their Boeing 777s to. All the other European markets are served by their Boeing 767-300s.I would think other European
markets could sustain American's 777s.
I think it's because slots at Heathrow are highly sought after, and AA wants to put their premium product on a route that gives them a lot of business. The 777s have the newest business and first class products, and that's where airlines make most money.
Only American and United can serve Heathrow. Continental says they do, but they actually codeshare with Virgin, and it's Virgin who operate those flights for them from Heathrow. Ditto USAir and United; the latter actually operates the flights going in to Heathrow.
All other US airlines have to serve other airports, and that's been mostly Gatwick (USAir, Continental, Delta, Northwest).
Instead of upgrading all of their fleet's business class sections, it was probably cheaper to put the new 777s on the premiere routes first.
