Statement from American Airlines

Source: American Airlines American Airlines Group Inc. has issued the following statement: We appreciate the leadership and strong support of President Trump, Secretary Duffy and numerous other leaders in the Administration who have demonstrated expertise and an ongoing commitment to continue to improve the world’s best aviation industry. American Airlines is not engaged with or interested in any discussions regarding a merger with United Airlines.

Slot Relief During the Iran Crisis: Why Flexibility Matters Now

By Nick Careen, IATA Senior Vice President, Operations, Safety and Security How regulators can make fair, consistent decisions when war and fuel shortages disrupt normal flight operations An airport slot is critical. And at many airports there are not enough slots to fulfill the demand for travel at all times of the day. That’s why airlines, airports, and regulators worked together to create the Worldwide Airport Slot Guidelines (WASG). WASG provides the rules by which slots are allocated.
