American Airlines’ Asia Growth Strategy

The Centre For Aviation has an interesting article about American's growth strategy in Asia, entitled "American Airlines' triple play in greater China is part of long-haul rejuvenation, with more to come." It's well worth a read.

There's nothing terribly shocking in the article, though there are some interesting tidbits. I guess I find this especially interesting because American is the US carrier I'm most loyal to and Asia is my favorite place to fly to, though unfortunately American and Asia have long been "incompatible."

They're finally slowly changing that, between the Dallas to Hong Kong/Shanghai routes that launched earlier in the year, in addition to the Dallas to Beijing route that is launching next year.

So what does the article say?

Cheap First Class Fares Out Of Colombo, Sri Lanka?

Airline pricing is incredibly complex, as the airlines have put a lot of effort into ensuring that they're maximizing the revenue they earn from each seat.

While it makes sense to maximize revenue as much as possible, at times it just seems laughable. For example, it can be cheaper to fly from New York to Los Angeles to San Diego than just from Los Angeles to San Diego. Try rationalizing that!

Along those lines, airlines do publish different fares depending on where you're originating. This is especially true in international markets. For example, an airline might charge a lot more to fly from Cairo to London than to fly from London to Cairo (the assumption being that someone originating in London is more willing to pay a higher fare than someone originating in Cairo).
