American Airlines pulls its Dublin operations

DUBLIN Airport has been dealt another blow, with American Airlines deciding to pull its operations this winter.

The airline, which is the second biggest US carrier, will cease its Dublin to Chicago route in November for five months. It will resume the service at Dublin in March.

This is the first time the airline has pulled its winter service at Dublin. It generally operates a daily flight to Chicago in the summer and between five and six flights a week in the winter.
