FAA Eases Restrictions on United Airlines After Safety Review
United Airlines regains ability to add new routes and planes following a series of safety incidents earlier this year.
- The FAA had increased oversight of United Airlines in March due to several safety incidents, including engine fires and tire issues.
- United Airlines can now resume adding new routes and aircraft, a significant development for the carrier.
- The airline has committed to enhancing safety protocols and continues to work closely with the FAA.
- Despite the lifted restrictions, the FAA will maintain a heightened presence in United's operations.
- United Airlines reported a $124 million loss last quarter, partly due to the grounding of its Boeing 737 Max 9 planes.
