United suspends flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport
CBSN
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.
"Given our current, too-small-to-be-competitive schedule out of JFK — coupled with the start of the winter season where more airlines will operate their slots as they resume JFK flying — United has made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend service at JFK," the company said in the update emailed to CBS MoneyWatch.
