Additional Updates
As we know, American planned to roll legacy US Airways 757s off of shorter Trans-Atlantic (TATL) routes and onto the Hawaii routes left vacant. As such, I was curious how they would backfill the voids in the TATL flights. We now have our answer.
Philadelphia (PHL) – Amsterdam (AMS) will have its 757 replaced by a 767-300ER on 1x daily flights beginning March 25, 2018. (Note: AA.com is only showing the 767 loaded as of June 1, 2018. All dates prior are still the 757)
Philadelphia (PHL) – Lisbon (LIS) will have its 757 replaced by a 767-300ER on 1x daily flights beginning April 3, 2018. (Note: AA.com is only showing the 767 loaded as of June 7, 2018. All dates prior are still the 757)
