BREAKING: Airlines have cut 60,000 flights into Las Vegas through October — and jet fuel prices are up 73%. Delta already suspended its Raleigh–Vegas route. Spirit is gutting its schedule. Southwest hinting at more cuts.
Economists say it means fewer visitors, shorter trips & less money on the Strip.
This is just the beginning if fuel prices don't drop. ✈️💸

I think you were fooled. Vegas averages around 550 flights per day so from now through October is about 6 months so that would be about 99,000 flights.so now you’re saying they will only have roughly 40,000 or 220 per day instead of 550.
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
Happy days are here again

So your numbers churn out to a 60% drop in the number of flights. Didn't want somebody else to say that's a 150% drop in flights.

Canadian airlines have canceled about thirty percent of their flights. I think someone extrapolated that into something that doesn't bear scrutiny.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened
