Approaching 1000 Aircraft! United Airlines' Fleet In 2024

The mainline fleet of United Airlines is massive. With 950 aircraft at the time of this video’s production, it's just slightly smaller than the mainline fleet at American, which currently boasts 967 jets. However, all of this will change over the next few months as more new aircraft arrive at the carrier.

I think the A350 order is smart timing. as Scott Kirby, would use the 787-10's to replace their domestic 777-200's and any domestic 777 routes. For the longer ETOPS routes, the A350's are a better replacement based off capacity and range.

Would love to see united bring the xlr to Manchester

[@karlossargeant3872]

Me Too Man however Airbus A321XLR will need to be fully Certified first before there Delivered to United Airlines and many other Airlines Orders.

Ove the thing when sam gives us sneek peek into next episode pls keep this up. Cant wait

[@sainnt]

As reported earlier, any Max orders abandoned by United will be snapped up by other airlines, especially Ryanair. I like what United is doing with their new interiors... wishing American would follow suit

[@aaroneisengart9887]

why is it only united pulling away from max 10 but not american, or delta???

[@sainnt]

@@aaroneisengart9887 United is NOT pulling away from the Max 10. They're removing the aircraft from their schedules because they have no idea when Boeing will deliver the aircraft. There's an indication that United may cancel the Max 10 order for the A321, but Airbus will have to either cancel or push back another airline's order to fit United in. I don't see that happening.

[@Tpr_1808]

I wonder if these a350s will be taken up or is it also a strategy to stall while looking for crew rather than converting pilots for other types

[@skyserf]

@@Tpr_1808It doesn’t take long to crew aircraft.

[@sainnt]

@@Tpr_1808 I think it goes beyond that. United doesn't have infrastructure for the maintenance of Airbus widebody aircraft, so there will be significant cost involved with bringing in the type.

[@mmelata]

You may need to do a section about Ethiopian Airlines. Especially recently it plans to buy 20 Boeing- 777-X-9 with a 8 firm order. It was an exciting news for the hyped and popular B777-X fans.

[@johnchristmas7522]

OK except that will the 777x. become the 777max?

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

With the right amount of wheels?

[@user-fe6bx3fd3t]

Pay attention to the aviation novelty MS-21 400. Pay attention to the new PD-14 engine, this engine is made of stronger alloys and starts from the spot on the car, the speed is much higher, which contributes to long-distance flight in a shorter time...

[@k9killer221]

So basically United's procurement strategy is the same as Lufthansa, buy every single type of aircraft out there. In other words, no strategy at all.

[@metavatar]

Hoping United deploys most of their Airbus from ORD. That plane just feels different (roomier, more comfortable) compared to the roller coaster, open air 737 death box.

[@nickolliver3021]

how is the 737 a death box

[@keianakbar9892]

I think airlines of the USA🇺🇸, have fleets more than a thousand airplanes

[@aaroneisengart9887]

why would american invest in the 737 max 10 just when boeing has even more issues with the max and right after united pulled away??. Dont forget delta still has orders for the 737-10 as well and they never said anything about canceling how do they trust in the plane. Why do any of the 737 max airlines trust this plane at a time when theres uncertainty with boeing. Shouldnt they be skeptical after the 2 crashes AND the door plug AND the engine AND the whistle blowers.................etc

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

that's 38 X B767-300 ER & 26 X B767-400 ER . . . other than the first B767-200 all other iterations of the B767 are ER variants . . . even including the B767-300 ERF . . . United should retire their fleet of B737-900 & B737-700 asap, not to mention the B777-200 . . . note, Delta Airlines also operate 26 B767-400 ER which is a further stretched of the B767-300 ER . . .

The United fleet (and also from other US Airlines) is (are) completely outdated. In Europe we have much younger fleets. As long as they not will renew their fleet I would never fly with an US carrier.
