Little Rock - American Airlines is dropping its plans to bring mainline jet service back to Little Rock National Airport.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline had announced last month it would begin using McDonnell Douglas MD-80s in April on four daily flights between Little Rock and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
American spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said in an e-mail that the airline just didn't have enough jets for the service.
The MD 80 has about 140 seats - which is more than double the number for regional jets.
The latest schedule shows American with 10 flights daily between Little Rock and Dallas/Fort Worth using regional jets.
