Eagle Details Capacity Cuts
American Eagle will cut its daily schedule by 37 flights at New York La Guardia Airport, 34 flights in Chicago and seven in Boston, close its stations in Albany, N.Y.; Harrisburg, Pa.; Providence, R.I.; San Luis Obispo, Calif.; and Samana, Dominican Republic; and ground 29 of its 37-seat Embraer ERJ 135s along with 25 Saab 340 turboprops as American Airlines proceeds with plans to slash capacity this fall by 12 percent systemwide. However, under the terms of a deal struck with the Air Line Pilots Association, Eagle will take back 10 fifty-seat ERJ 145s on lease to American Connection partner Trans States Airlines early next year, a move expected to save about 100 jobs at Eagle.
