Just a few months ago, company executives said Philadelphia-Tel Aviv route was one of its most promising; company cites financial considerations as reason for cancellation.
YNET
Months after representatives of American Airlines visited Israel and claimed that their route between Tel Aviv and Philadelphia is one of the company’s most promising, the company’s management announced on Thursday that it had decided to discontinue flights to Israel.
The company explained that the cessation is due to financial considerations, but this does not correspond to data company executives gave during their visit to Israel. The company said its last flights to Israel will be on January 4 from Philadelphia to Tel Aviv and January 5 for the return flight.
American Airlines has a less than spectacular history with Israel. Many years ago it bought TWA, which went bankrupt, and American entered legal proceedings concerning compensation for company employees, a process that lasted many years.
Six years ago US Airways began flying from Philadelphia to Tel Aviv and carried out a daily flight between those cities. Last year US Airways and American Airlines merged and kept the American moniker.
The new company, now one of the largest in the world, operated flights to Israel and said it was considering an expansion of its operations between Israel and the United States. The announcement of the closure of the route surprised the Israeli branch’s employees and its customers.
The company said it contacted customers who made reservations and purchased tickets after the last flight date to find solutions for them or to reimburse them. American Airlines has 19 employees in Israel and they will all be terminated the day the route is closed.
In the first nine months of the year, American Airlines flew about 95 thousand passengers on the Philadelphia-Tel Aviv route and about 95,000 passengers, a 2.74 percent increase compared to last year.

I guess American didn’t like doing business with the Israelis. Either it was profitable or it wasn’t. If it was and American pulled out anyway, it just shows what pricks the Israelis no doubt are. More trouble than they’re worth.
I totally agree, Mike!
Maybe having to placate wacko orthodox Jews refusing to sit next to women or insisting on releasing seat belts and standing to pray was just more than AA wanted to put up with….
Or… other non Jew passengers flying to being fed up with the bullshit no longer booking flights out of irrational fear of those “mooslums” hijacking a plane like those Muslim patsies on 9/11 on the planes…. if in fact they were on the planes that never hit anything.
(These non-Jews would more likely be non religious non-Jews flying to and returning from Israel for “business” purposes unrelated to any religious agenda.
Or……perhaps AA officials intuited that flights to Israel present an opportunity for the same “Elite” psychopaths really responsible for the 9/11 False Flag used to “justify” war on Iraq to do the same and blow up a plane bound for or returning from Tel Aviv. Just as what could have been the reason for the plane blow up over Scotland blamed on Qaddafi. (and later on Iran as it became more necessary in an Orwellian sense to begin to create a new enemy in the fertile (well manured) “minds” of America’s millions truly mindless minions.
Donald Trump is no fool, he knows if he knocks Israel he gets knocked out! How do you think he built his empire? He knows how to deal with the Jews.
LET THEM ROW A BOAT TO ISREL
Yes JOHN JOHN. Donald Dock loves Israel and he has made a substantial amount of his fortune with the Israelis. He hates every one but he kisses Israelis ass. His daughter became kosher and he provably will be circumcised soon.
#John John. I think you’re commenting on the wrong article or you’re in a coma. WTF has Donald Trump got to do with American Airlines cancelling its flights to Israel‽
