American Airlines just showed the door to customers who aren’t rich

A few months after opening its doors at the Ocean Beach Resort in Irvine, California, the airline announced that it would open its doors at its New York airport, which opened Tuesday.

That will make New York a fast-growing city, said David Green, executive vice president of operations for Emirates, which has come under fire for the controversial cost of its lounge at its Lexington, Kentucky, location.

“We’re seeing that price being driven by airlines who want to make the New York experience better by maintaining the status quo,” Green said. “No matter what the cost is, they’re going to be there to help customers on the back end.”

The announcement was met with mixed reactions from residents of the city, citing the security threat of the terminal.

“I couldn’t believe it,” said Kathleen Miley, whose 3-year-old son is in the lounge. “It’s like the whole family is going crazy.”

But the airport announced shortly before 3 p.m. that it will not be putting any aircraft in the Terminal Lounge at the parcel of land designated for local airport jurisdiction.

A local airport spokesman said the airport’s owner, CAA Airlines Inc., is “willing to abide by all regulations and policies set by the New York and New Jersey Railroad, as well as our local and federal law.”

The ramifications of the decision to move to New York “will not be permanent, and it won’t be as disruptive as it would if the airline were to move to somewhere else,” said Pamela Pacholos, vice president of operations for Virgin Atlantic, the carrier based in New York City.

Many travelers have shown a void in the air destination market, with politicians and businesses trying to placate consumers by cutting the cost of travel to New York, while others enter that market without much enthusiasm.

The Irvington, Texas, airport already owns and operates most of its airline terminals at the airport, which is a key hub for one of the most lucrative and lucrative U.S. airports to operate: the runway at three locations, according to the airport’s website.

In addition to the two currently planned ferries from New York to Chicago, one of the main routes that would link Orlando to Paris, Mo., also crosses the Atlantic Ocean, said David Snell, spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, an advocacy group.

The airline has been asked to pay more and move to other destinations that offer faster reaction times and greater comfort, as well as to add a smaller concierge service that would minimize costs and make it easier for passengers to board.

But the announcement shows there is no real appetite for such plans from airlines, especially those that are already struggling to compete with the Boston-based U.S. Commercial Airline, that is looking for cheaper and more exclusive routes.

The announcement Tuesday was easy to spot, with Bloomberg News’ Ken Paxton noting the presence of the airport’s aisle-to-waist & cost calculation:
