Airline officials cited high winds and staffing conditions at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Thursday, according to a staff note sent Saturday by COO David Seymour obtained by CNBC.
On Sunday, the airline cancelled 720 flights (26% of total planned flights) and delayed 135 others, FlightAware.com shows.
An additional 543 flights (20%) were cancelled on Saturday and 407 were delayed, data shows.
American has apparently been suffering from staffing shortages, since staffing cuts made during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Seymour, 1,800 flight attendants will be returning from leave beginning Nov. 1, with the rest returning in December, CNBC says.
