United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) Q2 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Andrew Nocella : Sure. Let me five it a try. The normal schedule in Newark in summer, which has been the same schedule for many, many years pre-pandemic is about 435 flights per day. This summer, we are scheduling about 410. And this August, we’re going to bring that down to 390. We are in constant conversation with the FAA about Newark and its overall ability to handle capacity, and we’re going to work collaboratively with them to try and figure out the overall level of flight activity. I expect that level of flight activity will be down from our traditional 430 flights per day in the summer until we can come up with a creative solution to the constraints that we’re all facing there. So hopefully, we will return to that bigger schedule in the future.

But for next summer, I do think that we will have a smaller schedule, and we will operate a reliable schedule, and we’re going to do that in cooperation with our partners at the port and the FAA and the Department of Transportation to make sure that we get it right for all of the customers that fly in and out of Newark and New York City.
