During the third quarter of 2024, United Airlines has finalized agreements with leading aircraft leasing companies to lease 40 Airbus A321neo aircraft.  

These aircraft, scheduled for delivery in 2026 and 2027, will be added to United’s growing fleet as part of its modernization strategy, aimed at improving fuel efficiency and expanding capacity. 

As of September 30, 2024, United had entered into leases for mainline and regional aircraft, airport facilities, and office space with total rental obligations of approximately $4.0 billion. None of these leases had commenced by the end of the third quarter, though, with the relevant dates set between 2024 and 2027. The lease terms span up to 12 years, aligning with the airline’s long-term fleet and infrastructure planning.
