But the airline&#x27;s losses are narrowing and the carrier said that bookings have continued to improve, even for hard-hit segments like business travel and international long-haul trips.<\/p>\n<p>United&#x27;s CEO Scott Kirby told CNBC&#x27;s &quot;Squawk Box&quot; on Wednesday that the fast-spreading delta variant of Covid-19 hasn&#x27;t affected bookings, echoing similar comments from Delta Air Lines chief executive last week.<\/p>\n<p>Kirby said the U.S. should lift an entry ban on most non-U.S. citizens arriving from the U.K. and the European Union, restrictions that have been in place since March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We&#x27;re not going to prevent the delta variant from coming to the United States by closing those borders because it&#x27;s already here,&quot; Kirby said.<\/p>\n<p>United, and other airlines and travel companies have\u00a0repeatedly pressed\u00a0the Biden administration to lift the restrictions, but the peak travel season has passed without any change from the U.S. However, several European countries like Greece, Spain and Italy have reopened their borders to visitors, including from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Kirby said there is a &quot;human element&quot; to the ban. &quot;There&#x27;s families who haven&#x27;t seen each other in 18 months,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p>A White House spokesman told CNBC that government officials from the U.S., U.K., EU and Mexico and Canada are continuing to meet on how to reopen travel but didn&#x27;t say if authorities are close to a decision.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the State Department and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised their warnings on U.K. travel to the highest level, telling citizens to avoid trips there.<\/p>\n<p>Other airline shares also rose Wednesday, continuing their recovery from a sharp drop Monday.<\/p>\n<p>American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, which report quarterly results before the market opens on Thursday, were up more than 4% and 3%, respectively. And Delta was up more than 3%. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/07\/21\/united-airlines-demand-recovers-despite-delta-variant.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United said it expects to return to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":132976,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
