American Airlines is adjusting its fleet as decreased demand and cancellation of flights due to rapidly expanding coronavirus.

The airline has decided to move up the target retirement dates for its remaining Boeing 757-200s and 767-300s.

American has just informed its plans to its employees:

“We will accelerate the retirement of our remaining Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft. Doing so removes older, less fuel-efficient aircraft from our fleet sooner than originally planned and avoids unnecessary maintenance and fuel costs. The 767 fleet will be grounded in May 2020, and the remaining 757 aircraft will retire between May 2020 and post-summer 2021 at the latest.”
