JetBlue, Alaska trim schedules as airlines attempt smoother summer

Airlines are adding staff and cutting flights in an effort to avoid upheaval as both customer demand and labor shortages persist.

JetBlue Airways Corp. this weekend said it would reduce flights in May and throughout the summer due to staffing limitations, after canceling more than 300 flights over the weekend. Alaska Air Group Inc. last week said it would trim spring flying to catch up on pilot training. Meanwhile, other carriers including American Airlines Group Inc. say they are prepared for the summer surge after a monthslong hiring spree.
