International passenger revenue increased 8% in the June 2026 quarter versus the prior year, driven by stronger demand to London and European leisure markets in the Atlantic region. Latin America revenue growth reflected strength to the Caribbean but was partially offset by lower capacity to Mexican leisure destinations due to civil unrest in several locations earlier in 2026. Pacific region revenue growth was supported by continued growth in South Korea via the joint venture with Korean Air and by increased China capacity. Domestic passenger revenue increased 15% in the quarter on a ~2% increase in capacity and pricing strength across multiple customer cohorts.
