American Airlines will end service between New York’s JFK International Airport and London’s Stansted Airport to cut capacity to better cope with soaring fuel prices, according to the airline’s parent, AMR Corp.Yesterday, American said it would end Chicago flights to Honolulu and Buenos Aires, as well. Last week it said it would reduce domestic capacity by 11% to 12%.
The Stansted service will end July 2, but American will continue to offer service between JFK and London’s Heathrow Airport, according to AMR.
AMR announced that it planned to make further cuts to its schedule in other markets and retire 40 to 45 mainline aircraft and 35 to 40 regional jets.
