AA 加入LAX跨太平洋战场

What's most worth watching about AA entering the transpacific battle at LAX is which traffic rights and slots it will actually use, and whether it will operate them itself or rely on partners to connect. That directly determines how much connecting traffic it can capture in Los Angeles, and it will also affect the fares and capacity plans of the airlines already there. Later, we can break it down further to see which city pairs it will focus on and how it will divide the work with OneWorld members.

Demand varies quite a bit between the U.S. West Coast and different cities in Asia. Los Angeles is already a crowded, highly competitive market, so AA may not be able to gain a solid foothold there quickly. Business travelers and those visiting family, in particular, differ in how sensitive they are to price, flight frequency, and connection convenience, so the results could vary from route to route.

When can we expect to confirm the specific launch date and the initial investment?
