WASHINGTON/CHICAGO - American Airlines Inc said Saturday it plans to cut 75% of its international flights through May 6 and ground nearly all its widebody fleet, as airlines respond to the global collapse in travel demand due to the coronavirus pandemic.

American’s sweeping cuts include suspending nearly all long-haul international flights to Asia, Australia, Europe, New Zealand and South America. Southwest, one of the few U.S. airlines still flying a full schedule, said it was “seriously considering” cutting flights. United said it would suspend flights to London from Houston and Denver starting Monday. United said it expects to fly three daily flights to London and one daily flight to Dublin through the end of April.

The outbreak came as Delta and its pilots’ union were in contract negotiations, and the sides reached an agreement on coronavirus-related sick leave and managing overstaffing for April with partially paid schedules. United and Southwest could reach deals with their pilots soon, sources said.

American Airlines Will Retire Boeing 757s, Suspend Argentina Flights And Cut Summer International Service 34%American Airlines, hobbled by declining traffic related to the coronavirus and new federal restrictions on trans-Atlantic flying, said late Thursday that it will take a broad series of steps to reduce flying, cut costs and protect employees impacted by the disease. THIS HADITH MADE THE SAHABAS CRY a good perspective is that there were more cases of H1N1 & it was more deadly. Also H1N1 was heat resistant & surgical instruments had to be double autoclave or put in land fill. ❤️ Businesses are suffering! It is mind blowing that even huge companies such as these are being almost totaled by a pandemic. In this case, seems only Amazon and Apple will survive the current situation.
