We are 79 days into 2025, and United has taken delivery of 22 new aircraft YTD as of this writing. It’s 7:45 am US East Coast time, so more may be delivered later today.
Last year, Southwest took a new MAX 8 approximately every four days. Now, we have United, averaging a new airplane every 3.6 days. Whereas Southwest was supplied exclusively by Boeing
, United is taking from both sides of the duopoly. Here’s a metric giving this delivery rate context – United has, to date, taken delivery of 10% of 2025 duopoly deliveries!
