American Airlines CFO says some travelers are avoiding Newark airport

American Airlines CFO says some travelers have avoided Newark in favor of other area airports, but cautioned the impact was modest.
Travelers are increasingly avoiding Newark Liberty International Airport due to persistent delays, overcrowding, and poor customer service experiences, as reported by CNBC on May 22, 2025.

Airlines operating out of Newark have also faced criticism for their handling of delays and cancellations, further deterring travelers from choosing this airport for their journeys.
