SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- American Airlines is cutting flights from Syracuse to Dallas and Chicago.

Syracuse Aviation Commissioner Tony Mancuso says American Eagle, the airline's regional carrier, will eliminate its one daily direct flight from Syracuse to Dallas and one of four daily flights to Chicago this fall.

The cuts are part of extensive service reductions by American to pare costs in the face of soaring fuel costs.

American is cutting its overall domestic capacity by about 11 percent. The airline announced it will close its operations in

Albany and eliminate 42 flights at New York's LaGuardia Airport.
