CHARLOTTE, N.C. American Airlines has confirmed the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack is impacting flights out of Charlotte.
The company released a statement saying two long-haul flights out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport have been impacted due to the fuel supply shortage. Those flights are to Honolulu and to London.
The two impacted flights will now make stops to get additional fuel along the way and are set to return to their original schedules on May 15. The flight from Charlotte (CLT) to Honolulu (HNL) will connect in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to change aircraft, and the flight from Charlotte to London (LHR) will stop in Boston (BOS) to receive additional fuel.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest for Delta Air Lines, said it is looking at other suppliers of fuel but that operations haven t been affected. Hartsfield-Jackson and its airline partners are in close communications with fuel suppliers and are taking steps to mitigate any impact the Colonial incident might have, a spokeswoman said in a statement. Currently, ATL is coordinating with additional suppliers to augment the airport s fuel inventory.
Delta, which operates its own oil refinery in Trainer, Pennsylvania, declined to comment on the pipeline outage.
American Airlines is adding stops to two long-haul flights to conserve fuel at its second-busiest hub.
