Emirates, which introduced a tablet loan service to U.S.-bound first- and business-class passengers in response to the electronic devices ban on inbound flights, announced that, starting May 1, it will begin service cutbacks to five of the 12 cities it serves in the United States.

The reason? U.S. government actions, such as the electronic devices ban, that the Dubai-based carrier says had a direct impact on demand for air travel into the United States.

Starting May 1 and 23, respectively, flights to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Orlando (MCO) will drop from daily service to five time a week.

And, starting July 1, flights to Los Angeles (LAX) will also drop from twice-daily service to a daily service.

Elsewhere, Spirit Airlines will end flights between Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Havana’s Jose Marti International Airport June 1, according to the Sun Sentinel.
