As for travelers who will suffer impacts from the reduction of service, American Airlines will contact them to work out alternative travel plans.
American Airlines isn’t the only company that’s axing its service. Delta Airlines announced its decision to reduce 100 flights per day between Friday, July 1 and Sunday, August 7. For summer 2022, Southwest Airlines has also taken the liberty of axing 20,000 flights.
Pilots are reportedly working overtime at certain airlines in order to keep up with travel demands notwithstanding staffing shortages.
An uncertain future for air travel in the United States
Many Americans remain concerned about what the future of air travel will look like.
Amid talk about the federal government penalizing airlines that repeatedly delay and halt flights, this adds an entirely new element to the equation.
Some folks continue to question what exactly the Transportation Department or others from the federal government could do to end these disruptions.
There is no sign that travel rates will decline anytime soon. With more and more demand for flights, many travelers would like to see airlines sort out staffing issues they continue to experience.
