During the following 3 months AA will highlight Medellin, and Cartagena in Colombia on their in flight magazine NEXOS.
AA Vice-president for Latin America and the Caribbean, presented the edition to the governor of Antioquia, showing him the commitment from AA to promote MDE and Antioquia around the world.
Very good photography, and a very nice article.

Quoting Copaair737 (Reply 1): I knew AV flew CTG-MIA, but AA does too?
PEI-CTG-MIA seems to be doing well for AV, judging by the fact that it will be increased to 5 x weekly, at the expense of PEI-BAQ-JFK that will be reduced to 2 x weekly.
It would be good to have further presence of AA in Colombia.

Quoting Summa767 (Reply 5): That is nice to hear. Is NEXOS available online?
good question, sounds very intresting!
A question, is it foreseeable that AA would upgrade the MDE route to a double daily route? would be much nicer to see daily 2 738 instead of a daily 767 or A300 ...

Quoting SABE (Reply 9): When are we getting DFW-BOG ????
Not happening. USA-Colombia traffic is extemely centered on the East Coast. There is no reson for it. You will see more MIA-BOG service or JFK-BOG before DFW-BOG.

You'll be waiting a very long time. American's Dallas-Latin America flights, outside of Sao Paulo and Mexico, are not stellar performers in the first place. Their main purpose is to divert lower-yielding connecting traffic off of the Miami/New York City flights. Dallas-Caracas has never been a strong route, for example, but it is good yield protection. Bogota does not need the yield protection, and won't be getting a Dallas flight.

Whatever happened to poor barranquilla ? Since AA quit there Avianca has DOWNSIZED to an MD-83 from a 757. My poor mother keeps getting abused by Avianca every time she goes to BAQ. AA operated that route for 12 years, why is it now toxic to fly to BAQ ? AA the coast of Colombia needs youas mush as the interior.

How many millions of time are you going to ask this when you very well know the answer. American Airlines had to give up Barranquilla in order to fly to Medellin. Simple as that.

MAH4546,
I was born in Barranquilla and have flown there many times in 707, 720, 727-100, 727-200, A300, 747-100 and Md-83, almost every plane since the jet age. Miami to Barranquilla is the most important international route from there, period. Its like LHR to JFK from London or HKG to LHR or SIN to LHR or Sydney. You can be an expert on the local traffic patterns in Scandanavia, I won't pretend to know as much as you do about it but leave the Barranquilla-Miami debate to those of us who have a vested interest in getting a second airline on the route, and AA is the most obvious US candidate for it, I don't see BAQ to any other US city working.

There is no debate. Americans Airlines cannot fly to Baranquilla right now, it is that simple. They gave it up to fly to Medellin. You ask about MIA-BAQ on a more than weekly basis, you get an answer as to why AA doesn't fly to BAQ, yet you still continue to ask and ask. The reason is simple: American Airlines gave up authority to fly to Barranquilla in exchange for Medellin. Maybe if they ask for BAQ again, the Colombian government will be nice and give it back, but seeing how protective they are, I doubt it.

Any words on the schedules of the extra AA flights to MDE?
Maybe I'll be able to get some shots of AA metal in an hour different than 8am.
I'm glad to see we're being promoted on NEXOS.
