twitterCarrier to restore 162 flights
Thursday, May 15, 2003 | 9:47 a.m.
CHICAGO -- United Airlines, citing a recent improvement in bookings, is restoring 162 daily flights next month that had been cut from its April and May schedules due to a drop in demand during the Iraq war.
The nation's No. 2 carrier, hopeful of a busy summer travel season, said in announcing the revisions today that the additional flights are to domestic, European and Pacific destinations. No markets were eliminated during the two months of scaled-back flights.
United, which is restructuring in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, will now operate 1,722 daily flights in June, up from 1,560 in May.
The move is a sign of improving prospects for both United and the battered airline industry, which remains mired in its worst slump ever.
