United, American to Cancel, Reschedule Flights at O'Hare Airport in Illinois.

By Robert Manor, Chicago Tribune Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Feb. 5--The two largest carriers at O'Hare International Airport said they would eliminate or reschedule dozens of evening and afternoon flights in an effort to improve on-time performance.

United and American airlines did not drop any cities from service. In most instances, flights originating in the busy 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. time slot were moved to slower periods earlier in the day.

"We are not dropping any destinations," said Jeff Green, a spokesman for United Airlines.
