United Airlines CEO has commented on Delta Air Lines' upcoming route between Los Angeles and Hong Kong, suggesting the new service may not be profitable for Delta. The statement was made ahead of the launch of Delta's transpacific flight, which is expected to add competition in a market that has seen changes in recent years.
According to United’s CEO, "Delta’s going to lose money on its new, upcoming offering between Los Angeles and Hong Kong." This remark highlights the competitive environment among major U.S. carriers as they expand international services.
The route in question will connect two major cities and represents an effort by Delta to increase its presence in Asia. In recent years, airlines have adjusted their transpacific strategies due to changing demand and evolving travel restrictions. The success or failure of this new service will depend on several factors, including passenger demand, operating costs, and broader market conditions.
