In the tough times that are facing the airlines, the airlines may be leaving a very sour taste in the minds of their much needed customers. With higher fuel prices, we have seen the airlines begin charging for everything. Now, we are seeing the next phase...reducing flights. An article in the Wall Street Journal sheds light on the severity of the cutbacks...
The carriers' cutbacks in flights will take place mostly after the peak summer season. Delta is cutting 13% of its domestic capacity in the second half of 2008. Northwest will cut by up to 9.5% in the fourth quarter. United Airlines, US Airways and Continental will reduce capacity by as much as 14%, 8% and 11% in the fourth quarter, respectively, the report says.
We have contacted all of our customers who were affected. If you booked your own flights, check them immediately to make sure they still exist. I have already noticed that most of the non-stop flights to many destinations from Louisville and Nashville have been cut for this fall. This means layovers and longer flights as well as higher prices.
