Cash-strapped Airlines Are Increasing Fees, Laying Off Pilots, Workers and Cutting Hundreds of Flights at Most Airports
From FYI to LAX, San Francisco International Aiport, San Jose airport and elsewhere, the high fuel prices bring bad news to the CEOs of most airlines companies. At the same time, travelers without extra cash are being asked to pay higher fees on local and international flights for extra luggage. Many airlines have resulted to cutting down a number of flights at the local airports. The cuts announced thus far will be felt at the Los Angeles International Airport. According to Airline industry database company Innovata, the number of flights scheduled out of LAX has been reduced.
In front of the new economic reality, American Airlines and other companies are cutting down flights. American Airlines plans to eliminate 86 arrivals and departures at the LAX per week in November. Delta plans to eliminate 68. United Airlines plans to cut the flights down to 266 flights. LAX can no longer count on the landing fees to fund its expansion. The cuts will be felt down at the local regional airports too.

Northwest Airlines is Laying Off Employees and increasing Fees
The signs of the current times are that airlines are cutting services, laying off employees and increasing fees.
Northwest is the latest airlines that has announced that it is going to increase passengers' fees. At the same time, less flights will be available. Layover will eat away more of your time. Passengers may have to spend more time at airports.
These days, passengers are mad at the numer of hours they have to spend in airports. With all the cuts and the grounding of airplanes due the high gas prices, the coming holiday season is not going to help that much either.
Northwest joins many other airlines in cutting services and increasing fees. What sense does it make to pay $100 for an extra bag on American Airlines?
All airlines are increasing fees.
