By Rajesh Kumar Singh CHICAGO (Reuters) -United Airlines is facing a financial hit and potential long-term reputational harm as flight delays and cancellations pile up due to ongoing disruptions at Newark airport - one of its largest hubs and among the busiest in the country.

Travelers flying through Newark are experiencing turbulence before they even make it into the air — but some airlines are offering concessions.

The FAA is holding a “delay reduction” meeting Wednesday, seeking to cap the total number of flights at the airport.
