The relationship between United Airlines and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport was broken up for the second time in less than a year.
According to an internal memo obtained by Insider, the airline plans to stop flying from JFK to Los Angeles and San Francisco in late October.
According to the United memo, the decision to temporarily suspend service at JFK was difficult due to our current, too-small-to-be-competitive schedule out of JFK and the start of the winter season where more airlines will operate their slots.
There has been a long distance relationship between the carrier and the airport. After many years of service, United pulled out of JFK in 2015. International carriers that weren't using them were picked up by the carrier.
On September 6th, United told New York's busiest airport that it might suspend its four daily flights.
The airline isn't abandoning New York City even though it is saying goodbye to JFK. The airline wants to return to JFK as soon as possible.
The Newark Liberty International Airport is in New Jersey. The 100 JFK employees will be offered jobs at nearby airports.
