United Airlines CEO Kirby: There’s Less Demand Because There’s Concerns About Safety

O KEEFE Well if ░░░░░░░░ re pruning the schedule ░░░░░░░░ that means less supply ░░░░░░░░ increasing demand going into ░░░░░░░░ summer Doesn t that ░░░░░░░░ mean the cost of ░░░░░░░░ ticket is going to ░░░░░░░░ up KIRBY My guess ░░░░░░░░ if you look at ░░░░░░░░ ticket prices flying out ░░░░░░░░ Newark right now that ░░░░░░░░ fact is not what ░░░░░░░░ happening There s less ░░░░░░░░ because there s concerns ░░░░░░░░ safety And and so ░░░░░░░░ we ve also done ░░░░░░░░ put bigger airplanes on ░░░░░░░░ route so put a ░░░░░░░░ airplane have fewer flights ░░░░░░░░ with bigger airplanes to ░░░░░░░░ the number of seats ░░░░░░░░ we have flying in ░░░░░░░░ out of Newark And ░░░░░░░░ travel remains a pretty ░░░░░░░░ bargain across the country ░░░░░░░░ around the globe.”
