United Says International Fares Are Covering Much of Fuel Costs -- Market Talk

Dow Jones00:13

1213 ET - United Airlines says international travel is covering more of its increased fuel costs than domestic travel, despite the conflict in the Middle East. Executives say that price increases on international flights have been more substantial and are covering more the burden from rising fuel costs than domestic flights. They say they expected the opposite, with more consumers accepting higher prices for domestic flights, but that hasn't been the case. The longer that fuel costs are elevated, the higher fares will go and the longer those high prices will stick, the executives say. United is aiming to pass through 100% of the additional fuel costs on to customers. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
