数百个美国航空公司的航班已经被取消，因为大量人员和维护问题。

截至周日下午，周六有123个航班被取消，周日有178个航班被取消，周一有97个航班被取消——这主要是由于大量的病假电话，加上维护和其他人员配置问题。

美国航空公司告诉美国广播公司新闻，大多数取消是在A320和737飞机上，但它可能在6月剩余时间每天继续取消至少50到60个航班，在7月之前每天取消50到80个航班。

美国航空公司(American Airlines)的一份声明称:“我们做出了有针对性的改变，目标是通过调整市场上的航班来影响最少的客户，在这些市场上，我们有多种重新住宿的选择。”

美国航空表示，它将尝试提前通知客户航班，并为客户提供通过其应用程序重新预订替代航班的机会。

American Airlines cancels hundreds of flights amid staffing, maintenance issues

Hundreds of American Airlines flights have been canceled this weekend and Monday because ofsignificant staffingand maintenance issues.

As of Sunday afternoon, 123 flights were canceled Saturday, 178 on Sunday and 97 were canceled for Monday – largely the result of a high number of sick calls, combined with maintenance and other staffing issues.

American told ABC News that most of the cancelations are on A320 and 737 aircraft, but that it may continue to cancel at least 50 to 60 flights per day for the rest of June and 50 to 80 flights per day through July.

"We made targeted changes with the goal of impacting the fewest number of customers by adjusting flights in markets where we have multiple options for re-accommodation," according to an American Airlines statement.

American said it will attempt to notify customers far in advance of their flights and provide an opportunity for customers to rebook on alternative flights through its app.

All U.S.airlinesand the Transportation Security Administration have struggled with staffing as airtravel has rapidly jumpedfromhistoric lows toapproaching pre-pandemic levels.

When air travel came to a halt in March 2020, thousands of employees were offered early retirements and buyouts, but now the airlines are desperate to fill these positions again.

American is also dealing with a staffing shortage with their catering contractor and wheelchair operators.

United Airlines is desperate for baggage agents.

And at one point over the Memorial Day weekend, Delta Air Lines' automated service told customersthe wait timeto talk with a reservation agent was more than 21 hours.

Earlier this month, acting TSA Administrator Darby LaJoye asked office employees to volunteer at airports for up to 45 days. The volunteers would handle non-screening functions such as on-boarding for new hires and management of security lines.

In its attempt to hire 6,000 new officers to handle the summer travel boost, the TSA was offering recruitment incentives, such as $1,000 to officers who accept employment within the agency.
