American Airlines is planning to get by with a little help from some new friends as the airline continues to build out one of its top products: a global route network.
"For more than 30 years, American has been serving Latin America and has been the leading US airline in South America," Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst and president of Atmosphere Research Group, told Insider. "The loss of LATAM as a partner dealt American a severe blow."
American faces a similar problem closer to home in Canada, where it has no major airline partners. The Great White North's largest carriers are already spoken for as Air Canada is part of the Star Alliance while WestJet is a Delta partner. JetBlue feeds American traffic through New York since the latter can't scale up on its own in the Big Apple.
