United Airlines returns to profit but cautions over high fuel prices and economic slowdown

United Airlines Holdings Inc. reported its first quarterly profit on Wednesday without the help of government aid since the start of the pandemic, but the carrier is planning a more restrained schedule to try to run more reliably,

“It’s good to return to profitability–but we face three risks that could escalate over the next 6-18 months,” said CEO Scott Kirby said in a statement.
