United Airlines is on a roll in the traffic department. The carrier realised another huge surge in traffic in almost every region of the world in August, according to the carrier’s August ops report released late Monday. United's domestic traffic climbed a very healthy 10% overall. Under the domestic banner, United’s regional route network recorded a big 21% increase in traffic compared to a year ago. Traffic on mainline flights was up 8% year over year. Internationally, the overall increase in traffic was 5%, but on trans-Atlantic routes, where traffic has been especially heavy this summer, United’s traffic grew 9.8% compared to a year ago. Latin American traffic also climbed 6.6% year over year. The only down region was Asia Pacific, where traffic dropped 2.1% year over year. <br/>
