AA scraps Brussels flights

Monday, 20 August 20123 min read

American Airlines will stop flying its New York/JFK to Brussels route on November 6.

The airline’s Chicago to Brussels route was canceled last September. The JFK to Brussels flight is currently AA’s only service to Belgium.

AA made an announcement saying that the cancelation was because of "reviewed route performance, market forecasts and trends and the future outlook." It said that it will "continue to serve the Belgian market in conjunction with oneworld partners British Airways and Iberia and with flight options through both London Heathrow and Madrid."

Although the closure leaves American without direct Belgium flights, JFK/New York to Brussels is currently served by Delta, Brussels Airlines and Jet Airways. There are also flights from United and Jet to Brussels from Newark Airport.
