American Airlines Group Inc. is suspending training for new pilots through the end of this year, the latest pullback by a major US carrier in the face of uneven travel demand and delayed aircraft.

Classes for new hires have been canceled in September, October and November, the airline said in an emailed statement Friday. There is no training planned for December. Aviators with conditional job offers will be given new dates in 2025, American said.

There is no impact to current pilots, including those in training, the airline said.

The move adds to similar suspensions by rivals including United Airlines Holdings Inc., which will resume pilot hiring next month after pausing in May and June. Southwest Airlines Co. said in April that it was limiting hiring and would end the year with fewer employees than in 2023.

Last month, American said it would slow capacity growth to 3.5% in the second half of the year from 8% in the first half due to an errant demand forecast.
