United Airlines has announced it is to cut capacity by parking 100 aircraft from this Winter in a bid to cut costs on fuel and staff.

It is also closing down its low-cost subsidiary Ted and reconfiguring the Airbus A320s that fly for it into the mainline fleet.

The jets being parked include 94 Boeing 737s and 6 Boeing 747-400′s

Spotters in the US are likely to see these only at desert storage airports, although this remains to be seen depending on how temporary the move is. Many of Uniteds 737′s have already been moving on to new airlines over the past year or two.

Those of you venturing to the US East Coast’s version of Vegas may be interested to know of a few opportunities to spot the action at Atlantic City’s airport.

As you’d expect with a leisure venue, the list of carriers mainly includes low-cost and charter airlines, as well as a healthy selection of smaller airliners from private airlines.

The best location to watch the action is on the top floor of the new car park opposite the terminal. From here you can see across the entire airfield, and even to the military base on the far side.

Stored airliners at Atlantic City include an ex-Delta L1011, ex-united Boeing 747SP, and ex-Air Canada Boeing 737. These can also be seen from the parking garage.
