Staffing shortages canceling hundreds of American Airlines flights through mid-July

American Airlines said Monday it will continue to cancel flights over the next few weeks after the airline was forced to cancel hundreds of flights over the weekend due to a labor shortage.

A spokesperson for American Airlines told WCNC Charlotte the company expects to cancel 50 to 80 flights a day through mid-July. These cancellations are in addition to any flights that are canceled due to severe weather. Earlier this month, hundreds of people were stranded at Charlotte Douglas International Airport when flights were grounded by storms.
