United Airlines posted its third-quarter results with top line revenue was up 12.5% year-over-year.

It was a record revenue quarter with ‘strong and steady domestic demand.’

Domestic revenues in the quarter were the second highest ever.

The Atlantic region was up 15% versus the same quarter in 2022, while Pacific revenue exceeded third-quarter 2019 levels.

In total, revenue from premium products was up 20% year-over-year.
