一 |     United Airlines says that it will start boarding passengers in economy class with window seats first starting next week, a move that will speed up boarding times for flights.The airline said in an internal memo that it will implement the plan on Oct. 26. The plan, known as WILMA, for window, middle and aisle, was tested at four domestic locations and one hub. United said that it’s shown to save up to two minutes of boarding time. The change will begin with passengers in Group 4. Those with window seats will board first, followed by those with middle seats and then those with aisle seats. United said that multiple customers on the same economy reservation, such as families, will be allowed to board their flight together. The plan will be implemented on domestic flights and some international flights. Individuals in first class and business class will see no change in their boarding process. There's also no change for the pre-boarding group that includes travelers with disabilities, unaccompanied minors, active-duty military and families traveling with children that are 2 years old or younger.On Tuesday United reported that it it earned $1.14 billion in the vacation-heavy third quarter, but the airline forecast weaker profit the rest of the year due to surging jet fuel prices and the suspension of flights to Tel Aviv during the Israel-Hamas war.United said its fourth-quarter adjusted profit would be between $1.50 and $1.80 per share, short of Wall Street's expectations for $2.09 per share.The high end of the United forecast assumes that the airline will resume Tel Aviv flights next month, while the low end assumes no more flights this year. United and many other airlines halted the flights shortly after Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7.Shares of United Airlines Holdings Inc. fell more than 8% Wednesday.。      香港8月16日电 香港特区政府财政司司长陈茂波16日发表网志表示，今年上半年，香港国际机场的飞机升降量超过20万架次，同比上升4.4%，机场客运量为3280万人次，同比增加11.7%。香港将进一步巩固提升国际航空枢纽的地位。  陈茂波说，目前约有140家航空公司提供航班往来香港与全球超过225个航点。香港高效便捷的国际联系与今年以来接连举行的各类展览等盛事，成功吸引更多商务及观光旅客访港。今年前七个月，已有3122万访港旅客人次，同比上升12%，往来不断的人流为香港注入更大的活力、带来更多商机。  陈茂波认为，香港国际航空枢纽的地位，不仅是本地航空业的命脉，更是香港发挥“超级增值人”和“超级联系人”功能的硬件底座，促进更蓬勃兴旺的贸易、物流、会展、旅游，以至更广泛的人文交流。  陈茂波说，两年前启用的机场三跑道系统将逐步扩大飞机升降容量，今年5月启用的二号客运大楼离境设施，亦已有15家航空公司进驻，预计第一年可以分流约800万人次的旅客，提升机场处理出境客流的能力。  他说，香港会不断努力，进一步巩固提升国际航空枢纽的地位，并为其他相关经济环节的联动发展注入新活力。
