In response, United Airlines announced it will offer refunds to affected customers or those who no longer wish to travel over concerns of delays and cancellations.
United's CEO Scott Kirby stated regional and domestic flights will be reduced, but long-haul international and hub-to-hub flights will not be impacted.
