The cutbacks will go into effect Wednesday and continue through Oct. 29, when American said it will evaluate the jet fuel market and decide whether to restore the flights. "The skyrocketing price of jet fuel has forced American Airlines to take the regretful step," according to a statement issued by the Fort Worth-based airline, a unit of AMR Corp. American also said it would discontinue flights between Chicago O'Hare and Nagoya, Japan at the end of October because of fuel prices. Manage your risk, not your terror.
