United Airlines traffic across Atlantic continued to slide in February

United Airlines is seeing a major falloff in international traffic to some parts of the world. The carrier released its February operations report Wednesday, and the numbers show trans-Atlantic traffic last month was down a sizable 4.1% year-over year. Granted, it was the middle of winter, but the report suggests travellers are not headed to or from Europe in anywhere near the same numbers they were during the middle of winter a year ago. Traffic to Latin America also fell 2.7% year over year. The only bright spot internationally for United was on trans-Pacific routes, where traffic in February rose 1.4% year over year. On the domestic front, the February report also spotlighted the rapidly shrinking regional portion of United's operations. Traffic on United's regional network was off a whopping 8.2% in February compared to a year ago. <br/>
