American to drop Chicago-New Delhi flights

Dallas: American Airlines said Monday it will end flights between Chicago and New Delhi and also between Dallas and Burbank, Calif., and separately will cut about 150 jobs next month.
The company blamed the job cuts on loss of a U.S. Postal Service domestic mail contract, closing of an equipment shop in St. Louis, and a reduced winter flight schedule.
Flights between Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Burbank will end Feb 9, and Chicago-New Delhi service will stop on March 1. The airline will close its operations in Burbank and New Delhi and reduce airport jobs.
American and its parent, AMR Corp., filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 29, but the company said Monday's changes weren't related to the bankruptcy. The company said it was responding to market and other changes to become more efficient.
