American to halt Bolivia flights

American Airlines says it has suspended flights to and from Bolivia due to the country's political crisis. The airline's Bolivian sales manager says that American's daily flights to and from the South American country are on hold as a "precaution for the security of our customers, personnel and airplanes."
Edson Jauregui said regular service will resume on October 2, though the airline will run a single flight from Miami to La Paz on Sept. 29.
American Airlines runs the only daily nonstop flights between the US and Bolivia. The company briefly suspended service when anti-government riots broke out across eastern Bolivia earlier this month. (AP)
