What do you think about the current Sino-US air traffic market? How will Xi's visit to the US affect the market?

As I've said, China is one of United Airlines' most important and fastest-growing international markets.

We are confident that President Xi Jinping's visit to the US this month will build confidence in China as a great business market as well as an attractive tourist destination among the general public in the US.

Such visits between the leaders of the two largest economies in the world build stronger relationships and enhance understanding, which undoubtedly will lead to further business ties between our two countries.

What's your opinion on this year's global aviation industry? Can we say the industry has already recovered?

We are optimistic about the global aviation industry in the near future. United Airlines had a very good second-quarter financial result this year and I am proud of the work our employees have done to deliver record earnings, which benefit our customers, employees and shareholders.

Our solid financial results are permitting us to further invest in improving our operations and our product. We have a great deal of confidence in our future as we work to make United Airlines the global carrier of choice.
