American Airlines to Cut Capacity if Fuel Costs Stay High
American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said at the Morgan Stanley Laguna investor conference that the carrier expects to make trade-offs on capacity if fuel prices stay elevated in the long term, with slower growth expected in 2027. He said that if fuel prices remain as high as they are now, adjustments to capacity planning will be required looking ahead. American CFO Devon May said at the same conference that the carrier would adjust capacity.
