Is this one of the SJU routes AA dumped?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Good for Jet Blue, first they succeed in playing down American in Puerto Rico and now it seems like they are going after American Eagle!
AA is dropping their Mainline SJU-SDQ flights, currently 2 757's, (where recently often full A-300's) but increasing their Eagle ATR-72 service from the current 5 to 8 per day. Over the years several Domincan carriers have served the route, most recently defunct Air Santo Domingo with Trans Meridain 727-200's. As recenly as two years ago you could fly the route 3 days a week on an Iberia A-340 operating either MAD-SDQ-SJU-MAD or MAD-SJU-SDQ-MAD depending on day of week.
