FAA extends flight cuts at Chicago O'Hare for another year 11-Jul 03:20

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ​on Friday said ‌it will extend flight cuts for another year ​at Chicago O'Hare ​to prevent delays and ⁠address concerns about ​congestion at the busy ​United Airlines (UAL.O) and American Airlines (AAL.O) hub.

The agency in ​April said it ​would limit O'Hare to 2,708 ‌arrivals ⁠and departures a day from May 17 through October 24, ​forcing the ​two ⁠major carriers to scale back ​plans and effectively ​holding ⁠operations near last year's levels to avoid ⁠a ​repeat of ​widespread delays.
