United Airlines loses $1.6 billion in the second quarter amid travel slowdown
Sara Salinas, Leslie Josephs

United Airlines reported a second-quarter net loss of more than $1.6 billion, driven
by a near-shutdown in air travel spurred by the coronavirus pandemic.

Revenue for the period fell 87%, on a year-over-year basis, to $1.48 billion, bad
news for the start of the peak summer travel season. The airline is now focused
on further slashing its cash burn to $25 million a day in the third quarter from an
average $40 million per day, according to the airline’s quarterly report.

The Chicago-based airline has added capacity back into the market cautiously
and said it expects to operate 35% of what it flew in the third quarter of last year.

“United believes it did the best job of matching actual capacity to demand among
its largest network peers,” the airline said in a release. “The company also expects
to finish the quarter with the lowest average daily cash burn among large network
carriers.”
