United Airlines Holdings Inc. said the spread of the more-contagious variant of Covid-19 slowed flying during the third quarter but hasn’t derailed its recovery.
United on Tuesday reported a third-quarter profit of $473 million, including the final $1.1 billion in government grants the airline received to pay workers during the quarter. Excluding the government aid, United reported a loss of $329 million, compared with a profit of over $1 billion in the third quarter of 2019.
