United Airlines News

There's nothing like a little competition between major airlines right within their fiefdoms... or hubs, that is. Nice to see, and bring it on.

United Express Flight 4352 has been on time for just 19 percent of its trips; a shocking statistic supposedly caused by weather delays at Newark, the flight’s short-haul status, and FAA flight-coordinating strategies.

Consolidation isn’t just happening within countries; international airlines are also increasingly seeking partnerships that allow the carriers to cut costs while increasing revenue.

Ongoing capacity discipline by United and other airlines means service punishment for travelers at many small and midsize airports around the U.S.

As airlines around the world begin to restart Boeing 787 Dreamliner service, the whole world will be watching to see if the manufacturer indeed resolved the aircraft's problems.

The boost is a nice increase on the current fees, but is the extra revenue worth the consumer dissatisfaction?

This discrimination lawsuit against United is not necessarily over with this dismissal. The judge granted the pilots the right to amend their complaint and to refile it.

Fee isn't the new normal, eye-popping fee is. Expect all other U.S. airlines to jump on this sooner or later.

United too in more than $1 billion in change fee revenue in just nine months last year, but it wants more. Like bag fees, air travelers hate these fees, which sometimes seem totally unreasonable. We'll see very soon if other airlines match.

Luxury and splendor are returning to air travel -- but only for VIP travelers.
