Another one bites the dust, at least temporarily: American Airlines pulls twice-daily flights to Chicago from local airport
Quote:American Airlines announced they will suspend service to Chicago from the region's local airport, citing the low Canadian dollar.
The twice-daily flights to Chicago O'Hare and the Region of Waterloo International Airport will end effective Oct. 5.
"There's nothing wrong with the service at the airport. ... The (passenger) load factor is really good and met their standards, but it didn't meet their profitability," said Coun. Tom Galloway.
The Region of Waterloo was informed of the change in service last Thursday, he said.
