American Airlines has dropped nonstop flight services to Santa Maria in California, Tijuana in Mexico, and Doha in Qatar this year. Fox News reported that the carrier ended the three routes because they failed to meet performance expectations. [1]
Data from aviation analytics firm Cirium, cited by aviation outlet Simple Flying and reported by Fox News, shows the carrier ended these services across its network. The adjustments include ending flights from Phoenix to both Santa Maria and Tijuana. [1]
The route cancellations significantly alter carrier availability for travelers in those markets, according to Fox News. The decision leaves Santa Maria without service from any major legacy carrier in the United States, while Tijuana has lost its only nonstop route operated by an American airline. [1]

- American Airlines dropped flights to Santa Maria, Tijuana, and Doha this year.
- The routes were discontinued because they failed to meet performance expectations.
