American Airlines CEO warns of more service reductions looming

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The CEO of American Airlines Group Inc., which has a major hub at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, is warning that the carrier will need to discontinue service to additional U.S. cities if more relief from the federal government doesn’t arrive soon.
