American Airlines CEO Robert Isom announced Wednesday that high fuel prices may force the carrier to reduce future flight capacity.
Elevated fuel costs are creating significant financial strain despite strong travel demand and higher ticket prices.
Isom did not specify the scale of the cuts but indicated that sustained price pressures require a re-evaluation of flight schedules.
Volatile fuel costs have already impacted the airline's growth plans and profit outlook throughout the year. The broader airline industry continues to face similar profitability challenges due to price volatility.
