American Airlines is shifting its long-haul flight from New York to Doha to a new route from Philadelphia to Doha, starting on October 29. This move marks the first time American Airlines will connect its Philadelphia hub with the Gulf region. The airline will remove the New York-to-Doha route from future schedules and add the new Philadelphia route. The change is seen as a major boost for American Airlines' Northeast hub and offers connections to over 80 destinations across North America. It remains to be seen if Qatar Airways, American's strategic partner, will cut its Philadelphia-to-Doha route and let American take it over.
Stage 13 of the Giro d'Italia has been shortened to 74.6km due to poor weather conditions, with the Grand St Bernard Pass cut from the route altogether. The decision was taken after a meeting between the teams and race organisers RCS Sport, with 19 of the 22 teams in the race voting to shorten the stage. The 199km stage will miss the already altered ascent of the Grand St Bernard Pass entirely, instead taking on the 15km climb past Verbier and follow the original route on to the summit finish at Crans-Montana.
