United Airlines Forecasts Q1 Loss Due to Boeing 737 Max 9 Grounding

CEO Scott Kirby Expresses Disappointment in Boeing, Considers Alternatives to Max 10

United Airlines expects to lose money in the first quarter of 2024 due to the grounding of Boeing 737 Max 9 jets.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby expressed disappointment in Boeing's manufacturing challenges and stated that the airline is considering alternatives to the Boeing 737 Max 10.
United Airlines has 79 of the Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft in its fleet, more than any other carrier.
The grounding of the planes came after a door plug blew off an Alaska Airlines Max 9 in midflight on January 5, 2024.
United Airlines has forecast an adjusted loss of between 35 cents and 85 cents per share for the first three months of the year.
