American Airlines cancels over 250 more flights amid staffing woes
[NYPOST] American Airlines canceled over 250 more flights — about 9 percent of its scheduled trips — on Monday morning after canceling over 1,500 flights through the weekend, blaming the travel disruptions on weather woes and staffing issues.By 8 a.m. ET Monday, American had canceled 269 flights for the day and delayed another 117, according to data from aviation tracking site FlightAware. The recent bout of cancellations comes as the airline scrambles to recover from a messy Halloween weekend that saw the airline cancel as much as 30 percent of its scheduled flights on some days. In a note to staff on Saturday, American COO David Seymour blamed the delays on poor weather conditions around the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline’s base of operations, that had displaced staff around the country, according to CNBC.
