United Continental Holdings Inc., the biggest U.S. airline on flights to Asia, said a benchmark revenue measure may show little growth this quarter amid a slowdown in bookings for trans-Pacific travel.
Revenue from each seat flown a mile on main jet routes will rise in a range of 0.3 percent to 2.3 percent from a year earlier, the Chicago-based carrier said in a U.S. regulatory filing today. The percentage of available seats sold on flights to Asia over the next six weeks is down 4.9 percentage points.
