American Airlines Cuts Routes; Allegiant Air Maintains Service to Santa Maria
What happened
American Airlines abandoned three destinations—Santa Maria, Tijuana, and Doha—as the carrier reshapes its network due to weak performance and shifting demand. The cuts mean Santa Maria lost service from American Airlines, which previously operated through its American Eagle brand. Allegiant Air currently operates the only commercial flights to Santa Maria, serving Las Vegas.
