American Airlines Co (AAL.O) said Monday it would reduce flights to certain destinations in South America as the COVID-19 pandemic reduced demand.

The American airline has stated that it is suspending service to Manaus, Brazil, from Miami until November 2 and is delaying the start of service from New York to Santiago until July 2, instead of the scheduled start for May 7. It will also reduce the frequency of flights to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in Brazil and to Lima from some US airports.
