American Airlines reduces Mexico flights

Special Report: World Tackles A/H1N1 Flu 

BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhuanet) -- American Airlines will cut about a quarter of aircrafts to Mexico because of a weaker travel demand due to the swine flu.

American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said Tuesday in
an email Fort Worth-based American, a subsidiary of AMR Corp. (NYSE: AMR) along
with regional affiliate American Eagle, will reduce the number of flights on
Mexico routes that have multiple trips per day.

The cutbacks will be between May 8 and June 10, and
American will "continue to evaluate demand (for) its summer schedule to Mexico
beyond June 10," Smith said.

"None of the current 14 destinations in Mexico will
lose service from American or Eagle," the spokesman said.
