United Airlines To ‘Step Up’ Retirement Of 80 Jets In 2027 As Boeing 737 MAX 10s Arrive

United Airlines plans to retire 80 aircraft in 2027 as it prepares to welcome the long-delayed Boeing 737 MAX 10 into its fleet. In an earnings call this week, United’s Chief Financial Officer Mike Leskinen confirmed the carrier will “step up” its retirement plan for older, less-efficient aircraft as it looks to cut costs and improve margins across its network.
