American Airlines plans to drop service at Dubuque Regional Airport in Iowa in September, the fourth city the carrier has cut service to amid an ongoing shortage of pilots.
American Airlines will stop flying to the eastern Iowa city on Sept. 7, the same day it cuts service to Islip and Ithaca in New York and Toledo, Ohio, a spokesman for the company said Tuesday.
Fort Worth-based American Airlines flew to Dubuque through its hub at Chicago O’Hare Airport and was the only airport flying to the city. It flew two flights a day on an Embraer 145 jet that carried 50 passengers through its regional carrier Envoy Airlines, which flew under the American Eagle brand.
