United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby announced that the airline's long-haul international operations, as well as hub-to-hub flights, will remain unaffected despite the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) plans to reduce flights at major U.S. airports.

Speaking in Chicago, Kirby emphasized that the airline would continue to operate approximately 4,000 flights per day. He noted that the airline's scheduled reductions will specifically target regional flights and mainline domestic routes that do not involve hub connections.

The announcement provides clarity amidst industry-wide uncertainties surrounding the FAA's upcoming flight reductions, ensuring that United's global and critical domestic connectivity remains robust.
