Poll: When Do You Plan To Next Travel By Commercial Airline?

American Airlines and Delta Air Lines announced massive new international capacity cuts to Europe and South America, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to bar most inbound travel from Europe over concerns about the spread of COVID-19.

In a company-wide memo sent Mar. 13, Delta CEO Ed Bastian told employees the airline would cut systemwide capacity by 40% “in the next few months,” which he called “the largest capacity reduction in Delta’s history, including 2001.” 

American Airlines also announced extensive route cuts on Mar. 13, unveiling plans to reduce summer season capacity by 34%, more than double its prior estimate of 15%, encompassing cuts to Europe as well as South America—making it the first U.S. carrier to trim international capacity to the Latin American region as a result of the crisis.
