United Airlines has announced that they will be cutting some of the daily flights from Newark Airport.
United Airlines announced that they will be reducing flights at Newark Airport this summer to avoid future travel meltdowns.
The airline says the cut in flights is intended to avoid future issues like the ones travelers endured at Newark over the July 4 weekend.However, this summer, United Airlines is scheduling 410 flights per day. They will continue to reduce down to 390 flights per day in August. The airline will also be adjusting plane schedules so they fly back and forth to Newark as opposed to flying to other airports on different routes before returning to Newark.
"We're now doing more than ever to mitigate the impact of weather, congestion and other infrastructure constraints at Newark, frankly so the schedule at Newark is more manageable through the frequency of weather events and the very real operating constraints that exist there, even on blue sky days," United CEO Scott Kirby told ABC News.
