Airlines are crying uncle. Reeling from staffing shortages, they are responding to a sudden upswing in demand by cutting flights and reducing their commitments to regional airports.

Driving the news: American Airlines said Wednesday it plans to end service to Islip, New York; Ithaca, New York; Toledo, Ohio; and Dubuque, Iowa. And United Airlines is cutting 50 flights a day from Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey — a major hub for New York City area travelers.
