AA: Cans ORD-BRU Route

19/09/2011 by Kevincm

Well in unsurprising news, American Airlines are pulling the plug on the Chicago to Brussels Route.  For those who are booked, It’s canned from the 7th November 2011.

American Airlines say:

“American Airlines has today announced that it will cancel its Brussels (BRU)-Chicago (ORD) service, effective 7th November.

“The airline has taken the difficult decision to cancel the route in light of high oil prices and the weakened global economy, which has affected travel demand and the route’s performance.


“Employees have been informed of the decision and the airline will be discussing the potential impact of the cancellation and all available options with those affected.

“The cancellation of American’s Brussels to Chicago service is regrettable but the U.S carrier will continue to serve the Belgian market via its daily year-round nonstop service to New York JFK, as well as in conjunction with Oneworld partners British Airways and Iberia.”

For those of you who need to go to Chicago from Brussels, it’s time to either connect at Heathrow (BA/AA), JFK (AA) or Madrid (IB/AA).

It’s not too surprising, as airlines seek to rationalise costs and finding easy routes to cull like this just make economic sense to spreadsheet analysts….
