CHICAGO (AP) — United Airlines, which is considering outsourcing up to 2,000 airport jobs, now says that after talking with union leaders it will bring back other jobs that had been turned over to contractors.

In a letter to employees Wednesday, Senior Vice President of Airport Operations Jon Roitman said United will complete "insourcing" work at nine large airports early this summer.

Neither Roitman nor a United spokesman said how many jobs might be added. United has about 87,000 employees.
