"American and United airlines will cut 5% of their flights at Chicago O'Hare through the summer to reduce worsening delays at one of the world's biggest airports, federal officials said Wednesday.
O'Hare's two dominant airlines and their regional carriers will operate 62 fewer daily flights from 1 to 8 p.m. than they have scheduled in February. Delays are the worst during those hours. The cutbacks will begin in early March and last through Aug. 31.
American (AMR) and United operate 88% of O'Hare's flights. Neither airline said Wednesday what routes would be affected, nor did they say whether they will substitute larger planes to make up for lost seating capacity on routes that lose flights.
When the new schedules go into effect, total flights at O'Hare will return to October levels, when 84% of the domestic flights by the nation's largest airlines arrived on time. That figure fell to 57% in November, placing O'Hare last among 31 major airports. "
Just FYI. This may not affect flights to MCO.
