March 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) is considering measures to curb growth at

United Airlines, including preventing the carrier from

adding new routes, following a series of safety incidents,

Bloomberg News reported on Saturday.

The regulator has discussed temporary actions it may take

with the airline's leadership in recent days, Bloomberg said,

citing people with knowledge of the matter.

United also may be barred from flying paying customers on

newly delivered aircraft, the report said, citing the sources

who asked not to be identified describing the closed

discussions.
