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. o~~~ O
