00:00American Airlines has confirmed a wave of management and support staff reductions at
00:05its Fort Worth, Texas headquarters, marking the latest restructuring move in the US aviation
00:10sector.
00:11According to the company, the cuts involve a small number of positions aimed at optimizing
00:16performance and improving efficiency across departments.
00:20The airline emphasized that while some roles are being eliminated, it continues to invest
00:24in areas aligned with long-term business goals.
00:28American Airlines, which expanded its workforce rapidly after the pandemic to meet soaring
00:33travel demand, is now realigning resources as growth in passenger traffic slows amid broader
00:39economic uncertainty.
00:42The company did not disclose the exact number of jobs affected.
00:46This move follows similar workforce adjustments across the airline industry.
00:50Southwest Airlines recently announced a 15% reduction in its corporate workforce, and Lufthansa
00:56revealed plans to cut 4,000 jobs by 2030.
01:01Analysts view these actions as part of a necessary recalibration as airlines adapt to rising costs,
01:07shifting travel trends, and tighter profit margins.
