United Continental reports 4Q loss as traffic fell
The parent of United Airlines reported a $620 million quarterly loss on Thursday as travelers stayed away following its problems earlier in the year with absorbing Continental.
It posted a full-year loss of $723 million, too, almost wiping out its $840 million profit from 2011.
The fourth-quarter loss worked out to $1.87 per share. Excluding special items the loss would have been 58 cents per share, matching expectations of analysts surveyed by FactSet.
