1054 ET - United Airlines is now aiming for the low-end of its outlook given weakness in demand for government travel and low-end consumer leisure travel, CEO Scott Kirby says at the 2025 JPMorgan Industrials Conference. Government travel makes up about 2% of United's business, and that segment is running down about 50% right now, the CEO says. United will respond by reducing capacity with the early retirement of 21 aircraft, he says. There will be fewer transborder flights, with a big drop in traffic from Canada going into the U.S., and red-eye flights that are generally unprofitable, Kirby says. (dean.seal@wsj.com)
