According to aviation data analytics firm Cirium, frequency reductions will begin as early as November. "Atlanta and New York JFK will see the most cuts," while destinations like Paris and Frankfurt are expected to be significantly impacted. The list of affected routes includes:

The carrier operates a diverse fleet of long-haul jets on these routes, including the Airbus A330neo and A350 models, alongside Boeing's older but reliable 767-400ER aircraft.
