United Airlines flights to and from MQT put on hold

SAWYER, MI— United Airlines service from Chicago to Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport has been delayed by a few months.

Three daily flights between O’Hare and Marquette were supposed to start May 21, but operational limitations established under a recent Federal Aviation Administration order have affected capacity at O’Hare. As a result, the inaugural ORD to MQT service will start on October 25 of this year, after the capacity restrictions expire.

Customers who already have reservations for the affected service will be given the option to rebook on alternative flights or to receive a full refund.

For further information, customers can contact United Airlines customer service.
