How Coronavirus Is Affecting American Airlines in the Caribbean

American Airlines has announced a series of changes to its schedule in the face of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, including some adjustments in the wider Caribbean.

For a nearly two-month period from March 16 through May 6, the carrier is planning a major reduction in long-haul flights to the tune of a 75 percent decrease in capacity compared to the previous year. 

That comes “in response to decreased demand and changes to U.S. government travel restrictions due to coronavirus.”

While the long-haul reduction affects areas like Asia and Australia, American Airlines has announced far fewer modifications to its Latin America and Caribbean flight schedule during that period.
