US FAA Considers Restricting United Airlines’ Growth After Safety Incidents
FAA Considers Restrictions on United Airlines
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is contemplating measures to limit United Airlines’ expansion, including potentially prohibiting the carrier from adding new routes. This decision comes in response to a string of safety incidents involving the airline, as reported by Bloomberg News over the weekend.
Discussions Between Regulator and Airline
According to sources familiar with the matter, the FAA has engaged in talks with United Airlines’ leadership regarding possible temporary actions that may be implemented. These discussions have taken place in recent days as both parties seek to address the safety concerns raised by the incidents.
Possible Restrictions on United Airlines
As part of the measures being considered, United Airlines could face restrictions on flying paying customers on newly delivered aircraft, in addition to being prevented from launching new routes. These restrictions, if imposed, aim to ensure the safety and security of passengers flying with the airline.
