United Airlines

United Airlines Holdings is in advanced talks for a large narrow-body aircraft order that would include at least 100 Boeing 737 Max jets as part of a broader fleet revamp, according to people close to the matter.

The Chicago-based airline sees an opportunity to upgrade its fleet and is studying several new, fuel-efficient models at a time when the likes of Boeing and Airbus are hungry for deals and demand for leisure travel is surging in the United States, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are confidential.
