United Airlines, led by CEO Scott Kirby, announced an expansion of services at San Francisco International Airport, including new routes to Australia and Asia, along with the creation of 1,000 new jobs. Kirby emphasized the favorable geography and demographics of the Bay Area, which favor travel. However, concerns about recent tariffs introduced by President Trump raised anxieties about possible repercussions for the airline. While Kirby remains optimistic about adjustments from the administration, analysts express doubts that the tariffs could hinder international operations for US airlines if retaliatory measures are taken.
If United's expansion plans are affected by a downturn in the economy due to tariffs, they may have to reconsider job growth and investment.
While Kirby is optimistic that tariffs won't derail plans, there's anxiety that international relations could impact US airlines.
