American Airlines to Pause Pittsburgh-LA Route Starting June 3
American Airlines is set to suspend its daily nonstop flight between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles for about two months, from Aug. 5 to Oct. 4. The cut removes one of the key West Coast routes out of Pittsburgh International Airport. Airport spokesman Bob Kerlik pointed to high jet fuel costs as the reason for the change. Pittsburgh made the Los Angeles route a three-carrier market. American, United Airlines, and Breeze Airways each have nonstop flights. For June, there are 17 weekly flights listed and a scheduled flight time close to five hours and 20 minutes.
