"United Airlines in Talks with Airbus for Additional Jet Purchases: Report"

United Airlines has reportedly held preliminary discussions with Airbus about potentially purchasing additional A321neo jets to address potential gaps caused by delays in Boeing's 737 Max 10 deliveries. The talks also involved United's existing order of A350s. This comes after United CEO Scott Kirby expressed concerns about Boeing's ability to meet its contractual obligations for the 737 Max 10 planes. Meanwhile, Boeing is facing scrutiny following an incident involving a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9, leading to a temporary grounding of 171 planes.
