Today, AA announced that it lost a staggering $1.45 Billion in the second quarter of 2008. The press release also states that they will accelerate the retirement of the Airbus A300. 10 will be retired this year, and the rest will exit service by the end of 2009Most likeley, they will be replaced by the 757, at least in the short term.
plans for 2009:
JFK-SDQ 757
MIA-SDQ 757
MIA-POP 737-800
MIA-STI 737-800
MIA-PUJ 737-800
MIA-LRM 737-800

not sure if JFK-PUJ or JFK-STI will stick around.

Hey guys look at this... from the end of 2009 no more Airbus A300...

Oficialmente anunciado por el CEO de AA Mr. Arpey....

TODOS los A306 seran sacados de la flotilla de AA para finales del 2009 y el primero (N7055A) ya salio......

Esta aeronave ha sido el backbone del AIC por sus primeros 6 a?os, es duro verla partir, pero creo que es necesario para el mejor servicio de AA a sus clientes.....

Dato del retiro del 7055A sacado de airliners.net
Muchos Saludos

Hipo...

AA is retiring their ENTIRE fleet of A306 in the end of 2009, a lot faster than the previous 2012 timeline....Source: American to retire A300 fleet by end of '09

N7055A is already in Victorville VCV (retirement field for airliners) waiting for a new owner (probably a freight company)...... Source: Airliners.net | Airplanes - Aviation - Aircraft- Aircraft Photos & News

SO.......expect AA to start subbing in those sevensixes and sevenfives where they serve with A306 pretty soon.........

I hope the last AA A300 flight is AA833/834.....

These are the CURRENT routes for AA with A306... after September is a whole different picture...

Thanks STIOP.

I just hope that they use the 767, instead of the 737 or 757, for the JFK-STI route. I've always considered the dual aisle seating configuration much better. :)

Does it really matter what aircraft is being used - modern airtravel is like hurding cattle anyway, its just a transport mean from point a to point b

It might be better for you but certainly not better for the airlines. The A300's and 767's burn tons of fuel and even when the plane is full with the cost of oil they just cant afford to fly big planes like this to the Caribbean anymore. Airlines like AA want to save the twin aisle jumbo's for routes that are much more lucrative and have a higher yield per ASM (available seat mile). For example JFK-LAX where there is a much higher number of business class passengers and a much higher percentage of passengers paying the full coach fare. Then the revenue the flight justifies the huge aircraft and the fuel it burns. Flights to the Caribbean are generally low yield flights by airline standards with the bulk of passengers paying discount coach or deep discount coach fares so even an A300 completely full will be losing money at today's fuel prices. They have a much better chance of making money on a 757 flight from JFK-SDQ full with 188 passengers than a 767 full with 225 passengers. When the A300's are retired by the end of 2009 that will leave AA with 777's and 767's for widebody aircraft and because of the gas these planes guzzle they will want to use them only on high yield routes and flights to the DR are definately not that.

If you are an aviation fanatic and fly to the DR take advantage of flying on AAs A300. There won't be any more going down after Sep.

About 60% of the time I flew an Airbus in or out of the DR there was a problem. Great you NY'ers get the 767. 757 is not as comfortable but I sure feel much safer.
