United Airlines Rethinks Boeing Relationship Amid 737 Max Issues

The airline, frustrated with ongoing issues and delays, considers alternatives and removes the Max 10 from its internal plans.

United Airlines, the largest operator of the Boeing 737 Max 9, is considering alternatives to the aircraft due to ongoing issues and delays with the model.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby expressed frustration with the progress of the 737 Max 10, which has been delayed several years due to FAA certification challenges and quality-control issues.
United Airlines has not cancelled its order for the Max 10, but has removed it from its internal plans, indicating a significant shift in its future fleet composition.
United Airlines expects its capacity growth to slow in the coming years due to the issues with the Boeing 737 Max 9 and the delays with the Max 10.
Despite the issues with Boeing, United Airlines' shares rose 7% to $41 on Tuesday after the carrier's fourth-quarter earnings beat forecasts.
