"United Airlines Nears Airbus Lease Deal Amid Boeing Max 10 Delays: Reports"

United Airlines is reportedly close to leasing around 36 Airbus A321neo jets from aircraft lessors as an alternative to Boeing's uncertified MAX 10 planes, which were expected to be the cornerstone of its fleet. This move comes after a mid-air emergency on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 raised doubts over its certification. United had ordered 277 MAX 10 jets but has approached Airbus about buying A321neo jets as possible alternatives. United CEO Scott Kirby stated the airline's interest in A321 jets but emphasized that they would not be willing to overpay for them.

United Airlines Grounds Airbus A321neo Fleet Due to No Smoking Sign Issue

United Airlines grounded its new Airbus A321neo planes due to a 1990 law requiring manual operation of the "No Smoking" sign, which the aircraft's continuous software doesn't comply with. The FAA has allowed United to fly the fleet while evaluating an exemption request. The agency previously approved a similar exemption for other aircraft in United's fleet in 2020. The situation highlights the outdated nature of the law, given that smoking on planes has been banned for decades.
