American exec speaks to long-haul flights, West Coast hubs

American Airlines will “absolutely” resume international flights from Seattle and Los Angeles, said Chief Revenue Officer Vasu Raja — once Asian countries and Australia relax travel restrictions. “Our West Coast network development is limited not actually by our partnership, the availability of airplanes, or even our imagination” but by the fact “that there’s not very many countries that are to the left of Los Angeles that are willing to go let 300 people per flight deplane into their country right now,” Raja said.
