AMERICAN AIR SIGNS DEAL TO OUTSOURCE SOME FLYING
New York,USA : American Airlines has signed a deal with SkyWest Inc. to do some of its regional flying.
Under the deal announced Wednesday, SkyWest will operate 23 Bombardier regional jets under the American Eagle banner. It currently expects flights to start on Nov. 15, with the full fleet up and running by spring. Most of them will be out of Los Angeles International Airport and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
About half are expected to be flown by SkyWest Airlines while the rest will be operated by sister carrier ExpressJet Airlines. The contract has a four-year term.
Last week, a federal judge threw out the union contract of American Airlines pilots. Bankruptcy law lets companies throw out contracts if they show it's necessary for a successful turnaround.
