American Airlines prepares to cut service to small cities
Leslie Josephs

American Airlines is preparing to cut service to up to 30 smaller U.S. cities
this fall as the expiration of billions in federal aid requiring the flights nears
expiration.

Congress in March set aside $25 billion for airlines to weather the coronavirus
pandemic, which drove demand down to the lowest levels in decades. Airlines
like American, which accepted the aid, are prohibited from laying off workers
through Sept. 30 and must also maintain minimum service levels.

An American Airlines executive told CNBC that the carrier could make the
service cuts as early as next week for flights scheduled in the fall after the
aid expires. The changes haven’t been finalized.

Airline labor unions and executives are pushing for another $25 billion in
federal payroll support under the same terms as the first round. The proposal
that has gained bipartisan support in Congress and from President Donald
Trump but lawmakers and the White House haven’t reached a deal for a new
national coronavirus relief package that could include the airline aid.
