Overview
- At the internal Journey ’26 event, employees were asked to vote on 10 potential destinations: Berlin, Bordeaux, Brussels, Mallorca, Seville, Shannon, Vienna, Casablanca, Cordoba and Cape Town.
- Reporters describe the shortlist as a speculative vision board with no filings or announcements indicating imminent service.
- Analysts view many Europe options and Cordoba as plausible once Airbus A321XLR deliveries ramp up, likely from 2027 onward.
- Cape Town is widely judged unlikely without a strategic shift by American, with competitors already strong in South Africa.
- Separately, American has a confirmed Porto route beginning in 2027, and the absence of any Asian cities on the list suggested limited near‑term East Asia ambitions.
