Clarification

ARLINGTON (theHub.com) - Yesterday’s US Airways Today included an item regarding US Airways’ increase in capacity to five destinations from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Sept. 8. In the Columbus market, US Airways will upgrade one of its five daily Washington-Columbus roundtrip flights from 50-seat regional jet (RJ) service to 737 service, adding 30 percent more seat capacity to the route. To clarify, US Airways has previously offered mainline service between Reagan National and Columbus, so this change is not a first-time service, as stated.

Reducing Delays

ARLINGTON (theHub.com) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working to reduce flight delays at Chicago O’Hare, which have reached historic levels, according to the FAA. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta set a meeting date for Wednesday, Aug. 4 at FAA headquarters in Washington to discuss flight delays at the airport, which he called “unacceptable.†FAA officials will meet with officials from American and United, the airport’s two largest carriers, to identify solutions to alleviate congestion at the airport. Mineta said it is critical that schedules at O’Hare are set to better match the airport’s current capacity and keep passenger traffic moving, according to today’s New York Times. Delays at O’Hare in the first six months of 2004 were more than the yearlong total for 2000, 2001, and 2002. The FAA will also evaluate Chicago’s $15 billion proposal to expand O’Hare.
