1215 ET - United Airlines says demand hasn't taken any kind of hit yet from increased fare prices, but things could still change. The carrier raised fares five times in the first quarter to offset rising fuel costs. Revenue growth from business travel is continuing to increase, executives say. Leisure travel is also continuing to grow, although it's harder to compare with year-ago numbers due to disruptions at Newark that happened last year. "All types of customers remain particularly strong," CEO Scott Kirby says. "We'll continue to watch it. It is uncharted territory given the massive amount of changes we've done."
