United Turns Bullish, Adding 25,000 Flights for August

United is adding nearly 25,000 flights for its August schedule. It's a big bet that the demand will be there to make it worth it.
United Airlines is adding nearly 25,000 domestic and international flights in August, tripling the size of its schedule compared to June.
