Connecting Made Easier: American Airlines Expands Flight Hold Program To More Airports

US-based legacy carrier American Airlines is currently in the process of scaling up its flight hold capabilities, which are designed to rescue passengers who are attempting to make a short flight connection without throwing the entire operation off schedule. The airline says that its system can briefly delay certain departures so that late-arriving passengers are able to board, but only when the entire network is able to absorb such a pause.
