REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File PhotoWASHINGTON -United Airlines said on Monday it has delayed the start of two new international routes, citing a pause on some certifications by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for the carrier following a series of safety incidents.
The FAA said last month it was increasing its oversight of United following a series of recent safety incidents. Reuters reported last month the FAA could potentially not approve allowing customers on United's new planes or new routes. The FAA did not immediately comment on United's announcement on Monday.
United has experienced several safety incidents in the past few months. On March 15, an external panel was found missing from a United aircraft when it landed in Oregon, prompting an FAA investigation.
