------------------------
To our valued customer:
Due to the prolonged government shutdown, the FAA has directed all airlines, including American, to reduce flight schedules at certain airports starting Friday, Nov. 7.
While we are awaiting additional information from the FAA to determine which flights will be impacted, we expect the vast majority of our customers’ travel will be unaffected. Still, customers are traveling for many reasons — all of them important — and disrupting plans is the last thing we want. For that, we apologize.
There is no need for customers to take any action. Any customer whose flight is impacted will be proactively notified by American Airlines. We will do our best to notify customers as early as possible. As always, we encourage all customers to check their flight status via the American Airlines mobile app or aa.com, which will provide real-time updates.
We remain grateful to the air traffic controllers, TSA officers, CBP officers and other federal employees who are working right now without pay — all to get our customers where they need to be safely — as well as our American Airlines team members who always work to take the best care of our customers.
Thank you for trusting us with your travel.
