American Airlines serves four continents. Hubs at Dallas/Fort Worth and Miami serve as gateways to the Americas, while American's Chicago hub has become the airline's primary gateway to Europe and Asia. New York Kennedy (JFK) is a primary gateway for both the Americas and Europe, while New York La Guardia (LGA) and St. Louis are regional hubs. It serves the second largest number of international destinations, second to Continental Airlines
American is the only U.S. airline with scheduled flights to Anguilla, Bolivia, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Uruguay.
American has begun to expand in Asia, with mixed success. In 2005, American re-introduced a non-stop flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Osaka-Kansai, which has since been discontinued. American also launched non-stop service from Chicago to Nagoya-Centrair, but that too ended within a year. Also in 2005, American launched service from Chicago to Delhi.This service has been profitable.[citation needed] In April 2006, American began service from Chicago to Shanghai, also profitably. However, in October 2006, American ceased its San Jose, California to Tokyo-Narita service, leaving LAX and SFO as American's sole international gateways on the West Coast. American planned flights between Dallas/Fort Worth and Beijing via Chicago-O'Hare (on Westbound only) in 2007 but lost its bid to United Airlines' Dulles to Beijing route. AA was granted permission in September 2007 to start a Chicago-Beijing route in a new set of China routes in 2009,[23] but currently plans to begin service in April 2010.
American has begun non-stop service from Miami to the Brazilian cities of Belo Horizonte, Recife, and Salvador. It has also added nonstop flights from Dallas/Fort Worth to San Salvador (Spring 2008) and Panama City, Panama (December 2007). Since then, service ended in September 2008 to San Salvador. In 2008, American also began non-stop service from Chicago to Moscow.
In May 2009, American began daily Dallas-Fort Worth to Madrid, Spain service.
