Uber has since issued a statement to deny trying to bank off New York City’s publicized JFK Airport immigration ban protest.
In an emailed statement to Business Insider, Uber said it didn’t halt surge pricing in order to drive more business. “We’re sorry for any confusion about our earlier tweet — it was not meant to break up any strike,” the company said. “We wanted people to know they could use Uber to get to and from JFK at normal prices, especially last night.” The company employs 36,000 drivers in the New York City region.
