Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc reported a quarterly loss on Wednesday, compared to a year-ago profit, as the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted global travel.

The company's comparable RevPAR - a key performance measure for the hotel industry - fell 59.9 per cent for the quarter.

Hilton's results come at a time when air travel remains challenged due to rising coronavirus cases in Europe and the United States.

Revenue fell to $933 million from $2.40 billion.

On an adjusted basis, Hilton earned $0.06 per share.
