United Airlines on Tuesday said Ted, its low-fare carrier, is running ahead of internal forecasts and said it will expand to offer flights at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
Ted began operating last month with flights from Denver and filled about 82 percent of seats in its first month, United said. Chicago is the largest hub for United.
"Ted has been extremely well-received by customers in other markets, running ahead of our initial forecasts in bookings and seats filled," Sean Donohue, vice president of Ted, said in a statement.
