US’s biggest airline cuts flights as demand plummets on recession fears… throwing Americans’ vacation plans into chaos

Flying to another state will soon get a bit trickier. 

United Airlines, which calls itself the largest airline in the US, said it’s planning on cutting domestic flights from its ticket offerings, starting this summer. 

The company has seen fewer customers pay for flights between major US cities as fears of a potential economic downturn persist. 

United plans to cut 4 percent of its US-based flights.

Meanwhile, international flights remained a strong point in the company’s ticketing portfolio. Ticket sales to fly abroad rose 5 percent in the latest quarter. 

The announcements came as United reported a massive profit hike. The carrier posted a profit of $387 million. 

Its a massive swing for the company: United reported a $124 million profit loss in the same quarter last year.
