Don't expect delays to go away anytime soon.
United isn't alone in its scheduling woes. Like other carriers, United is cutting flights for the remainder of the year to"create more buffer into the system" and ensure that the airline is resilient, Kirby said. In the third quarter, capacity will be
from the same quarter in 2019, per The Points Guy, with the goal of easing flying woes for travelers."The reason we're pulling down the schedule [is] to do better by the customer," Kirby said in his interview with CNBC, citing a recent"frustrating" string of cancellations at Heathrow Airport in the U.K.
According to The Points Guy, Kirby also noted on a July 21 earnings call that 200 flights will be cut from Newark Liberty International Airport, which has recently experienced more delays than any other U.S. airport. The flight cuts are due to runway construction, he said, and will span"a few weeks in September."As we're still enjoying the summer weather, December might seem like a long way away.
When asked about flying later this year, Kirby said United will be pulling the flight schedule back in order to increase reliability. This is again due to the"infrastructure" around aviation, which cannot support a certain flight volume."Unfortunately, there still are going to be fewer seats available around the whole system," Kirby said."You should probably book early for Christmas.
By December, the airline had anticipated returning to the same levels seen in 2019, but it is now projecting capacity to be down by approximately 10 percent, according to Kirby."Even though we have the staff, even though we have the resources to do it, we're going to be smaller just to make sure we can cover for all the things that are outside our control," he added.
