[ATLANTA] American Airlines Group on Tuesday said flight cancellations due to bad weather hurt its first-quarter results, joining other carriers that blamed the weather for a drag on business during the period.

American grounded more than 34,000 flights in the first three months of this year, reducing quarterly revenue by about US$115 million and operating profit by about US$60 million.

The carrier cut its forecast for its operating margin to 5-7 per cent for the first quarter, compared with a late January view of 6-8 per cent.
