MONEY-American-Airlines-customers
Dogged by ongoing service problems, troubled American Airlines is beginning to lose its most lucrative group of clients -- business customers. Overall, the number of passengers flying American Airlines fell 4% in September to 8.3 million, according to figures released by the airline Monday. Miles flown by paying passengers on domestic flights fell 7% to 5.7 billion miles compared to a year earlier, although an increase in miles flown on international flights limited the overall drop. The airline was also forced to cut domestic flights by almost 6% to deal with the delays and a shortage of pilots. Several business travelers told CNNMoney that their firms are avoiding American flights and won't be returning any time soon.
