American Airlines says it will cut passenger-carrying capacity by 1 percent in the first half of November as it tries to recover from widespread delays and a spike in?cancellations.
American said Thursday that the pullback will give it more time to return to normal operations without affecting holiday travel.
Delays and?cancellations?soared in September, which American blamed on a work slowdown by some pilots. The pilots' union denied the charge.
Although American has boosted its on-time arrivals from September's 59-percent mark, flight-tracking service FlightStats.com says American still trailed other large U.S. airlines in delays on Wednesday.
American cut capacity in September and October by up to 2 percent. Airlines reduce capacity by eliminating flights or using smaller planes.
