American Airlines to Cut Flights to Israel

American Airlines has chosen to end flights to Israel, just months after airline management visited Israel and said their Philadelphia to Tel Aviv route was one of the most promising routes they had.  The announcement came on Thursday and the airline said the removal of these flights is due to financial reasons.  However, the data they presented on their trip to Israel does not support the existence of financial problems.
American Airlines does not have a good history with Israel.  The Philadelphia to Tel Aviv route was launched six years ago and they had even said they were considering an expansion of services between the two countries.  This has made the announcement to terminate the route all the more surprising.  The airline said it has contacted customers who have made reservations and bought tickets for travel after the final flight date so they can make other arrangements.
