PHOENIX — Ahead of the Labor Day holiday, American Airlines introduced its connection-saving technology at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

According to the airline, the tech was made to help customers reach their connecting flights by proposing “a short hold” while not negatively affecting “the airline’s overall schedule.”

It was first made available this summer at other international hubs like Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and has now made its way to Valley flight service.

So far, the connection-saving tech has preserved seats for thousands of its customers while imposing an averaged hold time of 10 minutes of less.
