Why American Airlines Stock Is Down Today

International-focused airlines were under pressure on Monday due to new restrictions imposed by countries trying to fight the Delta variant of the coronavirus. Shares of American Airlines Group (NASDAQ: AAL) led the decline, down as much as 5% in midday trading.

After a miserable 2020, airlines have rebounded nicely so far this year as vaccines have gained traction and travelers have returned to the skies. But for the most part, it has been a domestic recovery, and more-lucrative international travel remains muted.
