Major U.S. airlines are planning schedule cuts mostly in New York City area airports ahead of peak summer air-travel season as air-traffic controller shortages simmer.
Airlines have until the end of the month to make federal aviation regulators aware of any schedule adjustments as a result of a waiver related to closely guarded “slots,” or authorization to use airports in the area, and some have already said they would be cutting down on flights for now. American Airlines Group Inc. AAL temporarily will be reducing some flights from New York-area airports as a result of the FAA’s slot waiver, a spokesperson said Thursday.
Last month, NATC President Rich Santa testified before the U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee on aviation, saying that the system, while the “safest, most efficient in the world,” continues “to be hampered by funding instability,” causing ground delays and other issues. “While it is disappointing to reduce flights for customers as they plan their summer holidays and as New York City works to rebound from the pandemic, we are pleased the leadership team at the FAA is proactively working to get in front of this and is being transparent about the staffing shortages,” the JetBlue spokesperson said, adding that the airline has been advocating for Congress to provide the FAA with funding and resources it needs to fully staff air-traffic control.Delta Air Lines Inc.
