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.
