American Eagle Dumping LGA-FNT After Just 3 Months

[Matt Molnar]

American Eagle will discontinue its service between LaGuardia and Flint, Mich. on April 7th, just three months after it began. Flint airport sources blame the cut on the fact that American Eagle entered the market almost simultaneously with Northwest, resulting in average load factors of under 50% on the route.

Yeah, AA was trying to protect the LGA market from NW, it didn't work. Looks like NW will stick with it though.
