United Replaces its Top Executives Amid Multiple Investigations
In February 2015, United learned of a federal probe into its relationship with David Samson, a former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the "Port Authority"). News reports have said that the probe focuses on whether United added a direct flight between Newark, New Jersey and Columbia, South Carolina, to accommodate Samson, who has a summer home in Columbia. The route was canceled shortly after Samson resigned last year. United, the dominant airline at Newark Liberty International Airport, was negotiating with the Port Authority over projects at the airport at the same time. On September 8, 2015, United announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Smisek, and two other top executives were leaving the company in connection with internal and federal investigations associated with the Port Authority.
