American Airlines Announces Extension of Schedule Reductions Through January 2006; Spike in Jet Fuel Prices Drives Extension
Posted on: Friday, 14 October 2005, 18:00 CDT
FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Airlines announced today that it will continue a fuel price-driven reduction in its schedule through January 2006. The airline previously announced a temporary cancellation of 15 daily round trips from its Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago hubs. Those cancellations were effective Oct. 5 and represent less than 1 percent of American's daily flights.
The reductions were made in markets where American continues to operate a significant number of daily round trips, which will fully accommodate expected traffic in the coming months. In most cases, just one round trip was removed from the schedule in each affected market.
"Jet fuel prices continue to be extraordinarily high," said Dan Garton, American's Executive Vice President. "It remains a prudent business decision to consolidate traffic in some markets to contain costs and conserve fuel."
