  • Passenger numbers: 11.3 million, -2.6% year-on-year;
  • Passenger traffic (RPMs): -1.7%;

United Continental Holdings: "United and Continental's Sep-2011 combined consolidated and mainline passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) increased an estimated 11.0 to 12.0% and 10.5 to 11.5%, respectively, as compared to the pro forma results from Sep-2010. As with June 2011 results, the impact of the trans-Atlantic joint venture revenue-sharing agreement, which is accounted for as Passenger Revenue and for the third quarter is entirely recorded in the month of September, reduced the company's Sep-2011 year-over-year PRASM growth. Adjusting for the impact of the trans-Atlantic joint venture-related revenue adjustment in Sep-2010, the company estimates Sep-2011 consolidated PRASM increased approximately 13.0 to 14.0% year-over-year," Company statement.
