WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation

Administration on Monday said it will resume a meeting on

Thursday with airlines to sharply cut flights at Chicago O'Hare

International Airport.

The FAA said it wants to cut flights this summer to 2,608

per day after last month proposing a 2,800 daily flight limit

for summer flights, down from the 3,080 daily operations

scheduled this summer but above last summer's 2,680 daily

flights. The proposal came after the two ​main carriers at

O'Hare, United Airlines and American Airlines ( AAL ),

added significant flights as they battle ​to dominate the hub.
