American Airlines (American Airlines) intends to terminate the services of 19 thousand of its employees in early October.

According to CNBC Arabia, this step comes due to the impact of the Corona pandemic on the aviation sector, and the end of the assistance provided under the terms of a $ 25 billion federal aid package allocated to airlines in United States.

The company stated that its capacity in the fourth quarter will be half the level of last year and that international long-haul flights will be only 25% of its 2019 schedule.
