PeriodQ2 FY2026
Published
United Airlines Holdings reported $17.67 billion in operating revenue for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 16.0% from a year earlier, but net income fell to $805 million from $973 million and diluted EPS was $2.46, against $2.97. Aircraft fuel expense rose to $5.11 billion, up 84.1%, after conflict in the Middle East contributed to materially higher global fuel prices, and operating income was $1.10 billion, down 17.3%. Both earnings lines include a net credit from special items, chiefly gains on aircraft sale-leasebacks that outweighed labor contract ratification bonuses; the year-ago quarter instead carried a net special charge, chiefly an accrual for the then-tentative flight attendant agreement, so the reported declines understate the drop in underlying earnings.

How this page was built
This page was built from United Airlines Holdings, Inc.'s own filings with the SEC, read one at a time, and nothing on it is taken from a pre-tagged dataset, a data vendor or another website. The figures are on the company's own fiscal calendar and in actual dollars, as the filings report them. Where the filings do not support a figure, the record says so instead of reporting a zero; this period names two such gaps.
A single company files thousands of pages with the SEC in a year, and no two companies file them the same way, so the reading and the assembly here are done by AI rather than by rules that break on the differences. Every pass is then audited back against the filings it came from before the page is published, and anything the filings do not support is left out and named rather than filled in. AI can still make mistakes. That is why the accession numbers are printed: the filing is the authority, and this page is a route to it.
