For years there have been rumors of American launching flights between Miami and Tokyo,though the flight has never come to fruition. Instead American has focused their growth to Asia exclusively out of Dallas and Los Angeles. I understand the Dallas expansion, given that it's their mega hub. I also understand their Los Angeles expansion in theory, and given that it's a expansive city American is trying to gain market share in,even though no single airline will ever truly rule Los Angeles.
But I'm still surprised that American hasn't done at least one Asia flight out of Miami, given the amount of connecting traffic American could potentially accept from the Caribbean and Central/South America.
What's intelligent is that Miami Airport is actively soliciting flights to Asia, and to the point that there's an "MIA Asia Task Force," which is traveling to Asia at the moment to meet with airlines.
