Details have emerged of the cuts to be implemented by American Airlines on its Caribbean routes as it grapples with record high fuel prices. Most of the cuts will affect the San Juan hub in Puerto Rico which means that almost all destinations in the region have been affected. American Airlines, the dominant carrier between the United States (US) and the Caribbean plans to cut more than 400 jobs in US territory. It will also begin offering one daily flight to Bermuda down from three and flights to St. Lucia will be cancelled between September and October but will resume in November. The reductions are part of a plan announce last week to reduce American's schedule by 12% after the peak summer season is over. |
