American Air to put 141 planes back in service to boost flights
American Airlines Group will take 141 aircraft from storage to support an increase in July service as travelers return to the skies faster than expected amid the coronavirus pandemic. The carrier will reactivate 83 Airbus SE A320 family planes and 58 Boeing 737 jets, a spokesman said Tuesday. American joins Delta in bringing back aircraft that had been parked as service was slashed when the spread of coronavirus and related travel restrictions nearly wiped out demand in April. American had parked as many as 435 aircraft and permanently retired more than 100 planes from its fleet. Its busiest days in July will have about 4,000 flights, up from 2,300 in June, the carrier said last week.<br/>
