Vacation plans at risk as airlines pull more flights

• American Airlines is temporarily canceling select routes in August and September due to rising jet fuel prices.
• The increase in jet fuel costs is linked to the ongoing war in Iran, which has disrupted global oil supplies.
• Jet fuel typically accounts for 25-30 percent of an airline's total operating costs, making it a significant expense.
• Affected passengers will be offered rebooking options on other flights or full refunds.
• Other airlines, including Delta, KLM, and Lufthansa, have also taken measures like increasing fees or reducing routes to manage higher fuel costs.
