United Airlines to End Atlantic City Service

United Airline has announced it will be ending flights to and from the struggling seaside gambling community of Atlantic City just eight months after first offering said flights.

The company issued a statement Friday saying the service between Atlantic City and two of its hubs – Houston and Chicago – were “no longer sustainable”.

“We’re disappointed that the service from Atlantic City International Airport didn’t meet our expectations,” United spokeswoman Mary Clark said. “As a partner in our hub state’s economic development efforts, we agreed to test the Atlantic City market by re-entering it earlier this year. In every market we serve, we continually review demand for the service and our Atlantic City routes are no longer sustainable.”

This is the latest blow to Atlantic City, which has seen four of its 12 casinos shut down this year.  Another, the Taj Mahal, is on the brink of shutting down after filing for bankruptcy protection.
