American Airlines CEO Robert Isom does not expect significant disruption for customers from initial government-ordered flight reductions, he said on Nov. 7, warning that increased cuts will be "problematic."
The airline is cutting 4 percent of flights at 40 high-traffic airports. The Federal Aviation Administration said that must rise to 6 percent on Nov. 4 before hitting 10 percent on Nov. 14.
"This level of cancellation is going to grow over time, and that's something that is going to be problematic," Isom told CNBC said.
