JFK was once a hub for United Airlines, but due to a small schedule and competition from other airlines, the carrier temporarily suspended its services.
United Airlines currently operates primarily out of Newark Liberty International Airport, where it is the largest carrier and accounts for over 68% of the airport's traffic.
The airline operates up to nine daily flights from Newark to Los Angeles and San Francisco, using a mix of aircraft including the Boeing 757, 777, and 787. It also has a limited presence at LaGuardia Airport.
