With hundreds of flights canceled, United Airlines says these routes will remain on schedule
Overall, United has canceled more than 100 flights each day, from Friday, Nov. 7 through Sunday, Nov. 9, the airline's website showed. Of those, 34 United flights scheduled to depart or arrive at Chicago O'Hare International Airport Friday were cut, with that number increasing to 38 Saturday.
Major airlines say that most passengers whose flights are canceled, and many who choose not to fly, will be eligible for refunds and no-fee rebookings.
Abdelghany agrees: “Even if the government reopens, recovery will still take time. Some passengers will have to be refunded and removed from the system because capacity simply cannot absorb everyone. The severity and duration of this reduction will determine how long recovery takes.”
