Quarterly Report — Q3 2024
Filed October 10, 2024
Revenue hit ~$15.7 billion for the first nine months of 2024, with Q3 alone driving strong results powered by passenger revenue growth across all regions — domestic, Atlantic, Latin America, and Pacific routes all contributed. The airline continued aggressively paying down debt, chipping away at pandemic-era borrowings including SkyMiles-backed loans and payroll support program obligations, while returning cash to shareholders through dividends and buybacks for the first time since COVID. Premium revenue streams — loyalty programs, travel-related services, and the SkyMiles partnership ecosystem — remain the strategic engine fueling margin expansion beyond basic ticket sales.
