Fleet Facts
p.s.® PREMIUM SERVICE:
We’ve started the process of a nose-to-tail refurbishment of our p.s. fleet to offer the international experience on routes
serving JFK–LAX and JFK–SFO. The reconfiguration of our p.s. fleet is scheduled to be completed by late 2013. Upgrades include flat-bed seats in United
BusinessFirst®, personal on-demand entertainment throughout, and an enhanced menu.
BOEING 767 FLEET UPGRADE:
The 767 fleet upgrade is nearing completion, with new features like flat-bed seats in United BusinessFirst and personal
on-demand entertainment throughout. United offers more 180-degree flat-bed seats than any other carrier in the world. By the second quarter of 2013, all
flights operated on internationally configured 747s, 757s, 767s, 777s and 787s will offer flat-bed seats.
United continues to take delivery of new, more comfortable
and more fuel-efficient 737-900ER narrowbody aircraft
and has more than 70 of them on order. United currently
operates a fleet of over 55 737-900ERs with an average age
of less than three years. The 737-900ERs are the perfect
complement to United’s 178 737-700, 737-800 and 737-900
aircraft in the fleet.
The 737-900ER delivers with the new Boeing Sky Interior,
which includes a more spacious cabin design, larger overhead
bins, brighter reading lights and softer LED cabin lighting.
The 737-900ER comes with fuel-saving winglets, and is the
most fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly narrowbody
aircraft in United’s fleet. The entire domestic 757-200 fleet,
except the 757 p.s. aircraft, will be replaced with 737-900ERs.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard a new 737-
900
ER soon.
