American is reducing the frequency of flights between LaGuardia Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami, Kansas City and St. Louis and the Newark-Chicago O’Hare route accordin g to Reuters.
This follows the FAA’s decision to temporarily return 10% of slots at New York LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as a result of air traffic controller shortages. The U.S. carriers agreed to the cuts provided they did not backfill the slots.
