American Airlines Faces Deeper O’Hare Flight Cuts as FAA Seeks Chicago Summer Cap
The FAA has told airlines to cut summer flights at Chicago O’Hare to about 2,500 daily operations, below the 2,800 cap floated last week, sources told Reuters. American Airlines had planned to boost departures to pre-pandemic levels as part of its 2026 recovery. United and American are in a gate dispute at the airport. Shares of major U.S. airlines fell 4% to 9% Thursday amid rising oil prices.
