Back at the end of February 2024, AirlineGeeks reported that JetBlue had put in a proposal for its first-ever Essential Air Service (EAS) contract.

The initiative invited female artists residing in the United States to design a special livery for two Boeing 757-200 aircraft.

United says it is delaying the launch of two new international routes due to increased Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversight.

Amid delivery delays from Boeing, the notable Chicago-based Star Alliance carrier announced its offer of unpaid leave to its pilots.

Over the weekend, numerous reports surfaced about United’s ability (or lack thereof) to certify new pilots, aircraft, and launch new routes.

United announced it is in the process of installing new, larger overhead bins on some of its Embraer E175 aircraft operated by SkyWest.

Amid a flurry of recent headlines around commercial aviation incidents, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy is speaking out against ‘sensationalism.’

Working with Airbus, United is nearing a deal for at least 36 A321neo aircraft. This comes as Boeing continues to have delays in delivering 737 MAX jets.

According to a CNBC report, the Chicago-based carrier will pause new hire classes in May and June, citing delivery delays at Boeing. 

In addition to three new destinations, the Chicago-based airline will also add more flights to China, South Korea, and Portugal.
