Just over four months since launching one of its newest routes, the Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier plans to reduce capacity in this market.
Spirit is set to expand its seasonal route network in August 2025, adding new options from various Midwest and East Coast.
Allegiant is trimming some flights as U.S. and Canadian airlines continue to report a slowdown in travel demand between the two countries.
The ultra-low-cost carrier is slated to operate up to 88 peak daily flights in July, according to Cirium Diio schedule data.
The aircraft entered revenue service last week, operating between Chicago O’Hare and Los Angeles, as well as London Heathrow.
The carrier is still working through its flag carrier and ETOPS approvals, but this DOT nod is a “milestone,” the spokesperson added.
American filed a motion with the DOT on Friday, requesting an expansion of its previously granted temporary dormancy waiver for certain U.S.-Cuba flights.
Currently, the A350 operates a handful of routes from Seattle, including to Tokyo Haneda, Taipei, and Seoul Incheon, replacing the A330-900neo.
Despite the reductions, American says it will continue to operate more than 60 daily flights to over 15 destinations in Europe this fall.
