In an effort to address an ongoing pilot shortage, US airlines have begun replacing planes with buses on some routes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new approach is being used by United and American Airlines, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labor shortages continue to be a challenge for a number of industries, including aviation, which is using salary increases and greater bonuses to recruit and retain talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United and American Airlines have struck agreements with Landline, a Colorado-based bus-as-a-flight operator, to transport passengers and their luggage by coach on shorter domestic trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers will be able to travel from Denver to smaller towns like Breckenridge and Fort Collins on one of United’s routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American bus service is set to start on June 3rd. Ferries will transport passengers between Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United and American did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider made outside of usual business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other airlines have been impacted by the pilot shortage as well. Delta Air Lines has stated that it will no longer need prospective pilots to have a four-year college diploma as part of their application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Breeze Airways is addressing the labour problem by enlisting Australian pilots through the E-3 skilled worker visa programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US – United recently announced that it would discontinue service to 29 cities indefinitely this summer due to a pilot shortage at its partner SkyWest<\/a> Airlines.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
