American mulls future Dubrovnik operations
NEWS FLASH
American Airlines has said the resumption of seasonal flights between Philadelphia and Dubrovnik are uncertain due to collapsing demand for international travel. The carrier’s Vice President for Network and Schedule Planning, Brian Znotins, said, “We anticipate that demand for long haul travel will be the most impacted. A flight such as the one from Philadelphia to Dubrovnik saw a huge increase in traffic in recent years, partially because it was a popular filming location for the HBO series Game of Thrones. Airlines ramped up flights to those types of destinations partially because traditional launching point airports in Europe and Asia were full. Until traffic recovers, international travellers will likely have to make a stop in London, Madrid, Rome or Milan before continuing on to Dubrovnik”. American Airlines has tentatively scheduled the resumption of it Philadelphia to Dubrovnik service for June 2021 with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, however, further adjustments this far ahead remain highly likely. American Airlines’ service between Philadelphia and Dubrovnik proved to be extremely successful during its launch year in 2019. The carrier maintained three weekly services from June until late August and increased frequencies to four weekly during its last month of operation in September. It handled 17.782 passengers during its four-month service run, with an average cabin load factor of 83%.
