United Airlines and American Airlines have slashed the number of flights offered at New York City-area airports as the coronavirus outbreak wreaks havoc on both the city and the airline industry
With stay at home orders in place in many states and officials advising against travel, the airlines are paring down their flights to just a handful. American Airlines once flew 170 departures from LaGuardia Airport, 80 from John F. Kennedy International Airport and 21 from Newark Liberty International Airport on an average day. But beginning April 7 and running at least until May 6, the airline will fly eight daily flights from LaGuardia, three from JFK and two from Newark.
Hart told employees to stay home but assured them they would be paid."Importantly, whether you are on duty or not, we will maintain the pay and benefits of *all* local employees scheduled to work in those locations during this temporary reduction," the memo said.The company is also working with the New York City mayor's office to offer free travel for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals treating the virus.
