United Airlines is halting flights in and out of John F. Kennedy International Airport at the end of the month.
The Chicago-based United said it warned weeks ago that it might suspend service if the Federal Aviation Administration did not grant the airline additional flights at JFK. On Friday, it followed through, telling its employees in an internal memo that it would suspend flights from JFK on October 29 with the last inbound flights.
United had resumed flights out of JFK last year after a five-year lapse, acquiring unused takeoff and landing authorizations known as slots that had been granted to other carriers but went unused during the pandemic. Those airlines have since reclaimed the slots as consumers' appetite for travelUnited is continuing"constructive" discussions with the FAA in the hopes of obtaining additional slots that would let it operate at the airport, the carrier stated in the document.
