American Airlines is temporarily suspending six domestic routes and lowering its 2026 profit forecast as rising jet fuel costs linked to the war in Iran continue to pressure airline operations and profitability.
The carrier said Wednesday it would suspend nonstop service on routes between Los Angeles and Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh and Washington Dulles, as well as between Charlotte and Ontario, California, and Charlotte and Sacramento. The changes will affect flights in August and September, though the airline said no routes are being eliminated permanently.
