CHICAGO, April 4 (UPI) -- United Airlines is looking to the booming business and leisure travel markets of Asia as a way to help the carrier recover and exit two years of bankruptcy.
United already operates four daily non-stop flights between the United States and China, is increasing flights to Australia, and began service from San Francisco the Vietnam and Japan. Additional non-stop flights begin between Chicago and Hong Kong in July.
"As the middle class and their disposable income continue to grow in Asia, more and more people in this market are traveling to the United States," United CEO Glenn Tilton said in a message to employees.
United lost $291 in February as fuel costs continued to skyrocket, the Chicago Sun-Times said.
Ted, United's discount carrier, began non-stop flights between Chicago's Midway Airport and Denver and Midway and Washington-Dulles Sunday.
United said it would concentrate on international routes while leaving more domestic routes to Ted which is adding planes to its fleet of Airbus 320 aircraft.
