In Q2, the company published results overcoming the top and bottom. Revenue amounted to $ 3.79 billion, higher than unanimity estimates of $ 3.71 billion, according to Bloomberg data. The stock profits amounted to $ 4.24, with expectations of $ 3.97.

Gourne described the travel market “ascending and landing”, pointing to the smoothness in the United States during the second quarter, but the flexibility between high -income travelers.

“People still want to travel,” she said, noting that traffic increased in July and August compared to last year. Gourne said the front reservations remain a major measure, with trends formed by events and holidays.
