Ma­jor U.S. air­lines are re­duc­ing their flight sched­ules and re­vis­ing or with­draw­ing their prof­it out­looks for the year due to less do­mes­tic trav­el de­mand as sen­ti­ment about the na­tion­al and glob­al economies sours.

Amer­i­can Air­lines pulled its fi­nan­cial guid­ance for 2025 on Thurs­day, join­ing ri­vals South­west and Delta in de­clar­ing the eco­nom­ic out­look too un­cer­tain to pro­vide full-year fore­casts. All three air­lines cit­ed weak­en­ing sales among econ­o­my class leisure trav­ellers.

“We came off a strong fourth quar­ter, saw de­cent busi­ness in Jan­u­ary, and re­al­ly do­mes­tic leisure trav­el fell off con­sid­er­ably as we went in­to the Feb­ru­ary time frame,” Amer­i­can Air­lines CEO Robert Isom told CN­BC.
