United Airlines suspends service between Chicago and Hong Kong

United Airlines is suspending daily service from Chicago O'Hare International to Hong Kong starting next month, the company confirmed Saturday. United Airlines did not cite the ongoing protests in Hong Kong as a reason to cancel the direct route. Instead, the airline said that it has seen "a reduced demand for travel from Chicago." Despite the suspension between Chicago and Hong Kong, "United remains the largest US airline to HKG," the company added. Hong Kong has been facing mass demonstrations for nearly 3 months. United is also planning to suspend service between Guam International and Hong Kong starting Oct 14, a change that was previously announced. At the same time, United Airlines confirmed to CNN that it will add a second flight between San Francisco and Hong Kong this fall. <br/>
