United Airlines said Tuesday it planned to purchase 100 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with options to buy an additional 100.
The airline said the order for up to 200 aircraft amounted to the "the largest widebody order by a U.S. carrier in commercial aviation history."
The order for 787 aircraft comes a few months after the Federal Aviation Administration's August announcement that Boeing could resume Dreamliner deliveries. Boeing had been forced to halt 787 deliveries in May 2021 after manufacturing quality issues and structural issues were discovered. The FAA first raised 787 concerns in September 2020, when the agency said it was investigating manufacturing flaws.
United said it now plans to take delivery of a total of about 700 new narrow and widebody planes by the end of 2032, "including an average of more than two every week in 2023 and more than three every week in 2024."
