<p>Less than a month after threatening to take action, United Airlines&nbsp;on Friday announced that it will halt its services in late October to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) airport.</p>

<p>"Given our current, too-small-to-be-competitive schedule out of JFK, coupled with the start of the Winter season where more airlines will operate their slots as they resume JFK flying, United has made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend service at JFK," the company said in a memo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The company added that its discussion with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had been constructive but it will take time to receive the additional slots. Thus, it could not give a timeline regarding when it will resume the services again.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>As reported by WION, United Airlines, one of the largest airline companies in the USA, in early September issued a warning to FAA saying it will suspend services at JFK if it did not receive permits for additional flights.</p>

<p>"If we are not able to get additional allocations for multiple seasons, we will need to suspend service at JFK, effective at the end of October," said&nbsp;United Chief Executive Scott Kirby in a letter to FAA.&nbsp;</p>
