Safety panel urges cuts in air service
The National Transportation Safety Board urged the FAA to curb peak hour flights at 22 major airports to prevent air traffic overloads and possible collisions as summer travel rises. The plan could shift schedules to less crowded times, possibly increasing delays. Authorities at FAA say they monitor flow and would study the recommendations. Airports listed include Atlanta Boston Chicago Cleveland Dallas Fort Worth Denver Detroit Fort Lauderdale Houston Las Vegas Los Angeles Miami Minneapolis New York LaGuardia JFK Newark Pittsburgh Philadelphia St Louis San Francisco and Washington National.
