Low-cost carrier Independence, rumored to be on the brink of bankruptcy, has cut more than half of its flights.
The airline said it would cut daily departures in October between 25 and 250 from its peak of 600 flights last October.
The airline is halting cross-country flights from Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle and San Francisco to Washington-Dulles.
Independence will also stop serving Cleveland, Indianapolis and Louisville.
Flights to Las Vegas, however, will continue.
Independence, launched last summer, was the first low-fare carrier to use 50-seat regional jets.
Independence last month warned it might have to seek bankruptcy.
