Let us intrduce you to United Airlines fleet. Today United Airlines ordered 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets and a record-setting 100 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The fleet of United Airline becomes bigger and better than ever by adding up to 200 widebody planes – the largest order by a U.S. carrier in commercial airline history. In total, the airline now expect to take delivery of about 700 new planes by 2032, at an average of more than two per week in 2023, and more than three per week, on average, in 2024. Adding widebody planes helps United airline offer customers even more choices across global network: United is the number one U.S. airline across the Atlantic and the Pacific.

 A little bit about the airplanes Boeing 737 MAX and Boeing 787 Drealiners:

• The 737 MAX optimizes the market-leading strengths of the highly successful Next-Generation 737.
• The 787 Dreamliner applies breakthrough technologies to an all-new airplane design. The advanced features of the 787 increase efficiency, simplify airplane ownership and operation, and significantly improve the air travel experience.

According to United Airline they chose Boeing over the rival plane maker Airbus because the the airline is eager to grow and already has several dozen 787s as well as the pilots trained to fly them. The airline still has an order on the books to recive dozens of Airbus  A350s, a 787 competitor, in 2030.

"They're both great airplanes," United's chief executive, Scott Kirby, said on a call with reporters. "But we already have a large installed base of 787s. And in this world where we're trying to bring on 2500 pilots a year and grow the airline, introducing a new fleet type slows that down dramatically."

New planes have many benefits. Travelers are getting an improved customer experience, with cleaner, more streamlined and sometimes more spacious interiors.  Today under the slogan "It's time to fly" United airline serves 238 domestic destinations and 118 international destinations in 48 countries or regions across five continents out of Chicago–O'Hare International Airport and eight hubs.
