Record-breaking Thanksgiving for American Airlines

Thursday, 27 Nov, 2023 0

American Airlines just concluded a record-setting Thanksgiving travel operation by carrying more customers than ever this holiday.

Despite some weather issues, American has canceled fewer flights to date than any other Thanksgiving.

The cancelation rate was just 0.09% of the schedule, with nearly all those weather-related.

It went nine days (Nov. 16–24) without canceling a single mainline flight.

It has carried nearly 6.5 million customers on more than 59,000 flights so far during the holiday.

”Millions of customers were counting on us for Thanksgiving  travel and we delivered,” said David Seymour, American’s COO.

“I could not be prouder of the team for delivering a safe, reliable and successful operation this Thanksgiving.”
