United Airlines is suspending service at New York's JFK Airport, saying its schedule there is too small to remain competitive. In a note shared with CNN Business, the airline said the start of the winter season, when more airlines resume flying to and from JFK, contributed to its "difficult decision." United has been negotiating with the FAA to acquire additional slots, or takeoff and landing authorizations, at JFK and has been advocating for the agency to update its assessment of the airport's capacity. But United said these improvements will take time. As for the airline's employees, United says that the 100 employees who work at JFK won't lose their jobs and instead be transferred to nearby locations.
