American Airlines will deploy up to 80% of its pre-COVID-19-crisis capacity in the current quarter ending June 30, as surging bookings and positive momentum on vaccines lead US carriers to gear up for an expected summer surge in travel on leisure routes
Fort Worth, Texas-based American said it expects 2021 second-quarter (Q2) system capacity to be approximately 75-80% of 2019 levels. The increase amounts to a substantial ramp up over the March quarter, during which American operated around 60% of its 2019 capacity.
The fairly aggressive capacity target will see American operate more available seat miles than its two main legacy airline rivals for the second summer in a row. Delta Air Lines said its sellable capacity will be about 60% of 2019 levels, while United Airlines is planning to deploy around 55% of its 2019 output.
