Port Authority chairman calls United Airline's complaint over Newark Airport fees 'inflammatory'

The chairman of the Port Authority fired back at Newark Liberty's biggest carrier Tuesday, calling United Airlines's recent complaint to federal regulators over airport fees "inflammatory" and "political." In unusually strong remarks, John Degnan, an appointee of Governor Christie, blamed United's high fares out of Newark on its "monopoly" at the airport, alleging the airline stifles competition by not allowing other carriers to fill unused capacity that it controls there.
