United Airlines expects Q4 revenues to grow over 20% year-over-year, building on Q3's 17.4% increase. However, strong top-line growth is offset by high fuel costs (assumed at $4.80/gallon with 2.5-cent EPS sensitivity per cent change) and elevated non-fuel operating expenses, resulting in cautious Q4 adjusted EPS guidance of $0.50-$1.50. Premium and loyalty revenues remain bright spots, but margin compression persists across the airline industry.

Southwest Airlines reported strong Q3 revenues of $8.42 billion (up 21.2%) driven by record unit revenues and higher fares, with average passenger fares climbing 26.9%. However, fuel expenses surged 61.7% to $2.15 billion, creating a $1.08-per-share headwind to adjusted earnings. While adjusted operating margins expanded to 5.4%, the airline's near-term outlook remains pressured by elevated fuel costs projected at $4.55 per gallon for Q4.
