Airlines and the FAA are pointing the finger at each other over a rising rate of flight cancellations and delays, just as millions prepare for a July 4th travel weekend that officials expect to be among the busiest in three years.
United on Thursday announced it will cut 50 daily flights from its Newark Liberty International Airport hub in New Jersey starting next month in an attempt to ease congestion and delays. Delta, JetBlue Airways, and Spirit and Frontier airlines have also trimmed schedules.
"People expect when they buy an airline ticket that they'll get where they need to go safely, efficiently, reliably and affordably," the agency said in response to the industry letter."After receiving $54 billion in pandemic relief to help save the airlines from mass layoffs and bankruptcy, the American people deserve to have their expectations met."
