United to end San Francisco–Nagoya
United Airlines is ending services between San Francisco and Nagoya, Japan, as part of a 7 percent cut in expensive international flights.
Glenn Tilton, Chief Executive of the airline, sent an e-mail to United employees explaining the decision, the San Francisco Business Times reported.
He said in the e-mail: "As many carriers - led by United - have shifted capacity to the international market, this has created new pressure on revenue."
Tilton added that the airline will eliminate flights between Denver and London, Los Angeles and Frankfurt, as well as the San Francisco to Nagoya service.
The cuts will take place in the fourth quarter of this year.
