With United increasing flights by 23% and Delta by 13% compared to 2019, both airlines are capitalizing on the trend of Europe becoming a year-round vacation destination. Recent earnings reports reveal a rise in passenger revenue—9.5% for United and 4% for Delta—indicating a robust market. As they prepare for over 100,000 flights between them in 2025, Europe is evolving as a crucial part of their financial strategies.
Andrew Nocella, United's executive vice president, emphasized that Europe is becoming a 'year-round destination,' attracting travelers year-round rather than just peak season.
