Low oil prices have helped United Airlines report a record quarterly profit.
The US carrier reported net income of $4.82bn, which included a $3.22bn tax benefit, up from $924m in the third quarter of 2014.
According to its quarterly results the low price of fuel helped the company save $1.19bn.
United said capacity will rise between 1.5 and 2.5 percent in 2016, more than 2015's expansion. This includes a new route to China, where United sees demand and competition growing.
The results follow the news this week that United will appoint an acting CEO to replace Oscar Munoz, who suffered a heart attack last week.
Brett Hart, previously United’s executive VP and general counsel, will take over the position with immediate effect.
