DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines put an unspecified number of employees on leave for their involvement in an incident in which several Black passengers were removed from a flight in Phoenix, allegedly over a complaint about body odor. American CEO Robert Isom wrote in a note to staff that the incident was unacceptable.  “I am incredibly disappointed by what happened on that flight and the breakdown of our procedures,” Isom said in the note this week. “It contradicts our values. … We fell short of our commitments and failed our customers in this incident.” Three Black passengers sued the airline last month, charging that they were removed from the January flight because of racial discrimination. They said they were told that a white male flight attendant had complained about an unidentified passenger’s body odor.

5 Ways to Avoid Checked Bag Fees on Major Airlines

It has been a crazy up and down year for Frontier Airlines when it comes to its network. The carrier has added 71 new routes already this year, but has cut 30. One of the latest cuts among eight new ones seems awfully peculiar since the routes just started two months ago. Frontier is cutting its flight from Ontario, California, and San Diego to El Paso, Texas. Frontier is not leaving the market; it will still fly there from its home base in Denver and from Las Vegas. None of the flights involve abandoning a city, just a reduction in the number of flights from certain cities.
