Oil could hit $175 a barrel, says United Airlines boss

United Airlines said it was scrapping flights on less-profitable routes following a doubling of jet fuel prices since February.

Scott Kirby, the airline’s chief executive, said the moves were part of steps to prepare for a scenario in which oil hits $175 (£131) a barrel and remains above $100 through 2027.
