United Airlines has placed an order for 167 seats on the Boeing 737 Max 10 aircraft, which have remained in storage since August 2018.[^1]

The order comes as Boeing secured approval for the 737 Max 7 earlier this month, a variant that Southwest Airlines expects to begin flying in the first half of 2027.[^2] Southwest accounts for roughly 90% of the 737 Max 7 orders and targets early 2027 for revenue service during the first quarter.[^4][^5]

United recently outfitted a subfleet of Airbus A321neo narrow-body aircraft with 20 newly designed Polaris suites for transcontinental routes.[^3]
