Kirby's comments come as airlines grapple with elevated fuel costs, labor shortages, and supply chain constraints that are squeezing margins across the industry. United, one of the largest carriers in the U.S., has seen strong travel demand but is passing along higher operating expenses to consumers.
The CEO also hinted that passengers should expect to pay more for seat selection, particularly for avoiding middle seats, as airlines look for new revenue streams. With summer travel season approaching, Kirby's remarks suggest that the era of bargain fares may be ending, and travelers should brace for higher costs.
