Business travel demand has "plateaued" but revenue continues to rise thanks to strong demand and capacity constraints, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby told CNBC Tuesday. Major companies, many in tech, have announced plans to cut back on spending, like business travel, or even lay off workers. San Francisco is one of United's major hubs, along with Newark, New Jersey, Houston, Washington D.C. and its home base of Chicago. "It feels like business travel, and this probably is indicative of pre-recessionary kind of behavior, has plateaued even though our total revenues are still going up," Kirby said in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box."
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby noted that more relaxed office attendance policies are also letting people travel more. The appetite for travel is persisting despite soaring airfares, which have been fueled by a pilot shortage and aircraft delivery delays. Even after Labor Day, when travel normally slows down, "it's just not the case this year, especially for international travel," she said. But if a recession hits, that could jeopardize all consumer spending — and prompt even higher-income Americans to rethink big trips. Tim Quinlan, senior economist at Wells Fargo, expects the holiday season will be the "last hurrah" for consumers.

As the U.S. slides closer to a potential recession, economists and business leaders are racking their brains for ways to improve the country's financial health. For Solomon "Sol" Trujillo, the answer is simple: Invest in Latino-owned businesses. In 2019, Trujillo, 70, founded L'Attitude Ventures, a venture capital (VC) firm that exclusively invests in Latino-owned businesses. Trujillo is a general partner at L'Attitude Ventures alongside former United Airlines CEO and chairman Oscar Munoz, Kennie Blanco, Laura Moreno Lucas and Gary Acosta, who is also a co-founder of the firm. "We want people to see that there are a lot of companies that can create growth and stimulate our country's GDP with the right support."
