Delta Air Lines, which cut its first quarter guidance this week, said that it will reduce its summer capacity. United Air Lines, meanwhile, said it will retire 21 aircraft early.
“We had a bias to fly whatever we could as we head into summer,” Delta President Glen Hauenstein said Tuesday at a JP Morgan investor conference. "We’ve tempered that down to fly what needs to be flown.
“The schedules to the summer are overbuilt,” Hauenstein added. “Expect that to be reduced.”
Hauenstein did not specify the extent of the capacity cuts. Delta’s summer schedule will be out March 22.
