United Airlines halts India flights

United Airlines halts India flights
NEW DELHI, Sept 17 (Reuters) - UAL Corp's(NYSE:UAL - news) United Airlines, which lost two planes in last week's terror attacks on the United States, said on Monday it had halted flights to India as part of a move to cut capacity.

United, the world's second-largest carrier, operated a twice-daily service to New Delhi, connecting the Indian capital to Hong Kong in the east and London to the west. The airline had also announced plans to start non-stop flights between Chicago and New Delhi.

``As part of the 20 percent reduction in United Airlines capacity announced by the company yesterday (Sunday), United services to India are discontinued,'' said an airline statement.

``Today's (Monday's) announcement is a direct result of the terrorist attacks in the United States,'' it added.
