American Airlines has ended nonstop service to Doha, Brisbane, Zurich and Paris and has discontinued flights to Santa Maria, Tijuana and Doha, citing network optimisation and performance expectations.
Long‑haul route cancellations
American Airlines stopped nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Brisbane after two months of service, ended the Philadelphia‑Doha nonstop, and cancelled the Miami‑Paris nonstop before the summer season. The Dallas/Fort Worth‑Zurich nonstop was shifted to a seasonal service with no schedule confirmed for 2027.
The airline ranks third among U.S. carriers for long‑haul services and expects to average about 78 long‑haul departures per day next summer.
City service withdrawals
American Airlines discontinued service to Santa Maria, California, on May 7, to Tijuana, Mexico, in August, and to Doha, Qatar, in June. The airline said the decisions were part of an optimisation of its network and fleet, and spokesperson Bri Harper cited performance expectations as the reason.
Following the Philadelphia‑Doha termination, Qatar Airways restored nonstop service on that route.
