United Airlines on Tuesday reported a 70% drop in domestic demand in the last few days and said it will make more deep cuts to flights in the coming months as the coronavirus keeps travelers at home.
United's net bookings, which include new reservations minus cancellations, have collapsed in Asia and Europe, said Scott Kirby, the airline's president who is scheduled to take over as CEO from Oscar Munoz in May. While domestic net bookings are down 70%, gross bookings are down 25%, which Kirby said are a better measure of current demand.
Holy crap. Assuming others are in the same position, with "the virus" just starting its expansion here, how can we operate in this environment? United said they'd be cutting 20% of their schedule a month each month this goes on.
I have heard Latin America is about the only semi-bright spot in this and we are big there, so that helps alleviate some of the stress.
