S KOREA THE NEW DESTINATION AS AMERICAN AIRLINE THE LARGEST AIR CARRIER GOES UP AGAINST KORIAN AIR FOR THE DALLAS INCHEON ROUTE

The manager said AA will soon launch a route linking Incheon with another U.S. city, after Dallas, as part of its expansion plan in the Asia-Pacific region.
"Besides Dallas, we have eight more hub airports in the United States. We are working hard to start a new route between Incheon International Airport and one of our hub airports, but it is too early to say when it will happen. Senior managers at the headquarters are positive about the plan."

AA's eight hub airports are in Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.
The U.S. carrier has been refitting its entire fleet, Park said, adding that when the process is completed, AA will operate a newer and larger aircraft on the Incheon-Dallas route.

"We will continue to upgrade our in-flight meals for Korean passengers and train cabin crews to offer more premium in-flight services," she said. "We also place top priority on ensuring aviation safety. Our pilots and flight attendants are well prepared to cope with any emergency situations. We are doing everything we can to ensure safe flights for all our customers."

American Airlines, founded in 1930, merged with U.S. Airways in December 2013, creating the world's largest airline. The combined carrier carries the American Airlines name and operates more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries. It is a member of the One World Alliance along with British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and many others.
