    The document summarizes reductions in airline service that will occur by the end of the year, with over 100 small and medium cities in the US losing commercial air service altogether due to surging oil prices that are driving up jet fuel costs. This will make air travel harder for many Americans and ticket prices will rise sharply. While the summer travel season was already booked, the cuts will still negatively impact the national economy beyond just the affected airports, affecting any industries that rely on cheap airfares. Most reductions will take effect in the fall. Airlines will focus on only the most profitable routes to make up losses.

    Reading Comprehension

    From Butte, Mont., to Hagerstown, Pa., more than 100 small and medium-size cities across
    the US will see reductions in airline service by year's end. Some communities will lose
    commercial service altogether. Surging oil prices, driving up the cost of jet fuel, are behind
    the cuts. For the first time in aviation history, airlines are forced to reduce the number of
    flights offered and eliminate some destinations even as demand for their services remains
    high.

    The result: It will be harder for many Americans to get from where they are to where they
    want to go, planes will remain elbow-room-only packed, and ticket prices will soar higher.
    The aviation reductions will also produce economic ripples that extend far beyond those
    airports with newly empty tarmacs, some aviation experts warn. "This is not about Butte.
    This is about the national economy," says Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airline
    Association. "Commercial air service is part of the backbone of the American economy.... All
    of the industries that have grown up with cheap, competitive airfares over the last decade
    will be affected."

    The impact of the service cuts probably won't be felt until 2009, because most aren't slated
    to go into effect until fall. The summer schedule has been pretty much set and sold for
    months. But here's the rub: Most of the tickets for the peak summer season were sold before
    oil skyrocketed above $130 a barrel. That means that even as passengers are packed like
    sardines into planes and it would appear that the airlines should be raking in huge profits,
    the carriers are actually losing money.

    To make up the losses, airlines must ensure that in the future they fly only very profitable
    routes. As a result, some communities where airlines rely on regional jets that guzzle a lot of
    fuel will see service cuts, even though plenty of passengers may still want to fly from there.
