United Airlines Further Cuts April Domestic, International Schedules

United Airlines on Tuesday announced a 60% schedule reduction in April, citing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on travel demand.

The airline said the reduction includes a 42% cut across the United States and Canada, and an 85% decrease in international flights.

Across the Atlantic, Pacific and Latin America, United will operate about 45 daily flights in April, the company said in a statement.

“United continues to aggressively manage the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our employees, our customers and our business,” the carrier said in a statement Tuesday evening.

“Due to a continued drop in travel demand as a result of this outbreak and government mandates or restrictions in place prohibiting travel, the airline today announced a 60 percent schedule reduction in April - this includes a 42 percent reduction across the U.S. and Canada and an 85 percent decrease in international flights,” United added.

The airline does not plan to suspend flights to any single U.S. city, with the exception of Mammoth Lakes, Calif.

"The airline is closely monitoring demand as well as changes in state and local curfews and government restrictions across the U.S. and will adjust its schedule accordingly throughout the month,” United said.
