United said its fourth-quarter adjusted profit would be between $1.50 and $1.80 per share, far short of Wall Street expectations for $2.09 per share.
United and many other airlines halted the flights shortly after Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7.
United said it set quarterly profit records for service to both Europe and Asia, as more Americans traveled beyond U.S. borders.
United's report comes after rival Delta Air Lines posted a $1.1 billion profit last week.
It predicted that fourth-quarter revenue would rise as much 11% compared with a year ago.
