American Airlines Cuts Flights Out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport After Summer Delays
American Airlines will cut over 1,000 flights out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport from its fall schedule, according to local news reports.
American Airlines told local news that it is changing its flight schedule to better reflect current travel demands.
“American’s originally published flying was based on our 2019 flying schedule — not the current demand environment,” airline spokesman Andrew Tull said. “Schedules are published 331 days in advance, and then adjustments are made closer based on customer demand.”
Local news reported that American Airlines has been facing travel delays and cancellations throughout the summer season.
This footage posted to Twitter shows passengers waiting in a long line by the American Airlines information desk on Wednesday, August 10. The source said their American Airlines flights into and out of the airport were delayed.
