American Airlines senior vice president Brian Znotins explains how the carrier selects new destinations like Prague and Budapest for its summer schedule.
Network planners study customer search data
Major carriers maintain specific departments that handle route planning decisions. These teams analyze industry demand models alongside global event calendars before launching flights. American Airlines recently added Prague and Budapest because they were among the most searched cities without existing service.
New routes launch in August
The airline officially introduced these new seasonal connections during its August announcements. This process allows the company to capture traveler interest for the following year. Znotins leads a department responsible for over 2,100 domestic and 700 international routes.
