United will leave NYC airport without more flight slots

United Airlines has said it will suspend service out of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at the end of October unless the Federal Aviation Administration gives the airline more landing slots in addition to the four flights it currently operates to Los Angeles and San Francisco. The airline leased the rights for 40 daily takeoffs and landings to Delta Air Lines when it left JFK to consolidate service at its hub at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
