United Airlines reported third-quarter revenue of $17.88 billion and net income of $1.03 billion, or $3.14 per share, compared with $949 million, or $2.90 per share, a year earlier.
A separate market alert cited EPS of $2.54 versus a $2.58 estimate and revenue of $17.88 billion versus $17.89 billion; the sources do not specify the accounting basis for the discrepancy.
Fare increases helped offset higher fuel costs linked to the war in the Middle East, while falling crude prices supported airline stocks before the release.
