Summary
United Airlines is ordering 110 additional Boeing and Airbus jetliners to secure the supply of new planes into the next decade. The airline is facing supply chain challenges and delivery delays, so they are locking in delivery slots for the future. The order includes 50 more Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 60 Airbus A321neos, with additional options for both aircraft. United is expanding its international service and expects to operate larger aircraft with more seats. The airline is also revamping its bedding and amenities kits for its Polaris business class.
