United Airlines Makes Second Large Aircraft Order This Year, Adding 110 New Jets

  • United Airlines has ordered 110 new aircraft from Boeing and Airbus, including 50 Boeing 787-9s and 60 Airbus A321neos.
  • The order comes less than a year after United's previous large order for new narrowbody jets.
  • The new planes will allow United to expand capacity and replace older models, including Boeing 757s, 767s, and older 777s.
  • United aims to reduce costs and congestion by using larger aircraft that can carry more passengers per flight.
  • The airline says the fleet expansion will increase seat capacity by 40% through 2027 to meet growing travel demand.
