WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - 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.
