United Airlines is facing intense criticism after an internal memo suggested reservation agents could offer travelers free flight changes if they objected to landing at Florida’s newly renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
The airline quickly moved to contain the fallout after the document became public, insisting the guidance did not reflect company policy. But the leaked instructions have already fueled accusations that another major corporation was willing to accommodate political objections tied to President Donald Trump.
The controversy erupted only days after Florida officially renamed Palm Beach International Airport in honor of the 45th and 47th President, a move celebrated by supporters and criticized by many on the political left.
