) is adding nearly 25,000 domestic and international flights in August, tripling the number it flew in June, while standing ready to shift plans if recent spikes in COVID-19 cases hurt demand, executives said on Wednesday.
Air travel demand, which rose steadily in May and June from pandemic-linked lows in April, “has flattened out over the past week or so,” Ankit Gupta, United’s vice president of Domestic Network Planning, told journalists. That takes into account travel restrictions, including a European Union ban on travel by Americans, said Patrick Quayle, who oversees United’s international network planning.
Still, much of the traffic is one-way and by people under the age of 35, likely student returning from study abroad programs, he said.
