United Airlines complied with a legal agreement it signed in 2010 that was supposed to require it to keep its Cleveland hub open for at least five years, even after it closed that hub in 2014, according to an auditor’s report commissioned by Ohio’s attorney general.

While the report is confidential, the attorney general’s office released a summary suggesting United did not violate its agreement, which called for the carrier to operate a certain number of flights for a five-year period after its merger with Continental Airlines. The state’s then-attorney general, Richard Cordray, sought the agreement, fearing the merged airline would quickly drop the Cleveland hub, cutting jobs and hurting the region’s economy.

Under the agreement, United was not supposed to cut more than 10% of its Cleveland schedule for two years after the merger close date. In years three, four and five, United was permitted to slash its flights, but only if it could prove its Cleveland hub was losing signifiant money. The standards for what constituted Cleveland’s profitability were complicated, though in essence the agreement created a sliding scale, with United permitted to cut more flights if the hub lost more money.
