United Airlines will become the first U.S. carrier to stop serving free meals and snacks in the coach cabin of some overseas flights as it tries to stem losses from record fuel prices. United will replace free meals with food that can be purchased on board, spokeswoman Robin Urbanski said Tuesday.
The change expands the list of services that airlines are charging for as they try to recover from a 52 percent jump in the price of jet fuel during the past year. United, with net losses of almost $3.32 billion in the past three quarters, is eliminating 7,000 jobs and parking 100 aircraft to cut operating costs.Bloomberg News
