American Airlines to end service to 4 US cities due to pilot shortage

Texas-based American Airlines has announced that it will cut service to four US cities after the Labour Day holiday weekend in early September because of a pilot shortage. The move marks the latest hiccup for the US airline industry amid a national shortage of pilots and other airline workers, and thousands of cancellations in recent months. American Airlines (AA) will no longer serve Islip and Ithaca in New York; Toledo in Ohio; and Dubuque in Iowa beginning on September 7 due to lack of pilots, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. All four cities are currently served by AA's regional affiliates and have up to two daily flights to larger hubs.
