United Airline Board Ponders Winging IT Suggests

United's board is engaged in a decision-making round of fleet renewal proposals with possibly a decision coming in a direction for future airplane purchases. Winging It considers the board is seeking a one-maker fleet for simplification even though United mentioned all makers are on the table for its fleet replacement.

Plane Spotters/United Detail Order Column A Winging It Proposal




The chart reflects an order column with possible fleet renewals from a “Winging It's” perspective totaling 690 units from single-aisle to Wide Body class of commercial aircraft. The suggested total is from a class to class replacement model using Boeing aircraft only for a one fleet type replacement. Of course, there will be many adjusting factors as United fine-tunes its fleet according to its own needs. This chart illustrates what Boeing is facing in an Airbus dual. The order potential would be placed over 10 years with firm orders and LOI's pacing the fleet building process as United moves with all new airplanes it desperately needs. The Plane Spotter data is just a starting point and it assumes United will not seek a split of either the Airbus or Boeing offering.
