American Airlines: Latin America
built 621 days ago
Miami ... became a hub after American bought Central and South American routes from Eastern Air Lines in 1990 (inherited from Braniff International Airways but originated by Panagra). Through the 1990s, American expanded its route network in Latin America to become the dominant U.S. carrier in the region.

With a total of 43 Boeing 777s now in its fleet, American will concentrate this three-class premium aircraft to serve its primary business markets in Europe, deep South America and Asia. The company will standardize and reconfigure its fleet of 49 Boeing 767-300s to serve other markets in continental Europe, Latin America and Hawaii. The reconfigured aircraft will feature 30 business- class seats with 60-inch pitch, as well as 182 More Room Throughout Coach seats. A common 767-300 fleet will save the equivalent of two aircraft because of routing efficiencies.

To say that American Airlines dominates Latin American access out of Miami (MIA) probably understates the case. The carrier took up where now defunct Pan Am (the old, globe-girdling iteration) and Eastern left off, and does it consummately well.
