United Airlines has announced it will hire more than 2,500 employees at Newark Liberty International Airport by 2026, expanding its largest East Coast hub as the carrier marks what it calls a turnaround in reliability after several months of operational challenges.

The hiring push, announced in Sept. 16 release, follows what United said was its best summer on-time record at Newark, where the airline flew more than six million passengers without any flight delays, putting it on par with New York’s other major airports.
