American Airlines blamed high fuel prices for its cutting 15 daily roundtrip flights at two major hubs.
American is suspending flights on 14 routes from Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago to various destinations including Denver, Houston, and others.
American is also halting non-stop service from Chicago to Nagoya, Japan.
The cuts will start 29 October.
Jet fuel cost $78.69 per barrel just prior to Hurricane Katrina, said the Air Transport Association. But there’s been a 38% price increase in the past several weeks.
