oopps looks like ive caused a bit of a stir here!!
Thats the point i was trying to make before people from the north east have to travel to other hubs for the long haul flights even though the market is there. Not by choice of the passenger they would love to go direct!
Before EK started people had to travel through amsterdam, paris or heathrow...
I would of thought the US market from northeast would be bigger than dubai.
Im sure some of you will agree that AA sales were good but the fact that it took business away from BA/AA at LHR the flights were canx but also stopping CO lauching at NCL at the same time.
We all think that the airport is talking to the major airlines of america. AA,CO,DL,UA etc...
How about the smaller ones Jet Blue?? werent they in talks with STN a year ago or so about New York flights into STN but nothing happened because yet again AA started the flights there first before dropping STN again...
Looks like AA have a habit of setting up flights to stop others then dropping them..........
What do you think??
