(CNN) — Citing air traffic congestion, United Airlines said Thursday it will cut 12% of its daily domestic flights from its busy Newark hub. Spirit responded with the assertion that United holds "virtual monopoly status at Newark." United said it received a waiver from the FAA "for the remainder of the summer" to protect its future rights at the airport. United said it has the staffing to support its schedule and plans to "revert to a full schedule from Newark as soon as possible." Last month, Delta Air Lines announced it would cut 100 flights a day from its schedule this summer.
