United Airlines Cutting Over Half of Their Cleveland Flights

In an effort to reduce overall costs to the airline, United recently announced they will be cutting Cleveland as one of their hubs.  This move will cut about 60% of United’s flights to and from Cleveland as well as cut about 470 jobs.  United is presently working to save approximately $2 billion as United’s expenses are rising faster than the revenue that the airline is bringing in.

“Our hub in Cleveland hasn’t been profitable for over a decade, and has generated tens of millions of dollars of annual losses in recent years,” said, Jeff Smisek, United Airlines CEO. “The demand for hub-level connecting flying through Cleveland simply isn’t there.”
