WINDSOR, Conn. (AP) _ American Airlines has announced plans to shut down a reservation center in Connecticut by this fall.
The airline says it will close the call center in Windsor, a move that affects hundreds of employees. The airline said Monday that it's too soon to know how many workers might lose their jobs.
A spokesman says some workers will be given the chance to work from home or transfer to one of the three remaining reservation centers in Dallas, Tucson, Ariz. and Raleigh, N.C.
A spokesman says the airline has been forced to cut costs. The shutdown is expected by September.
The Windsor call center on Day Hill Road takes ticket reservations and handles customer questions.
