TD Cowen also noted the ongoing divergence between full-service carriers like United and leisure-focused airlines as a potential advantage for the company.

In other recent news, United Airlines has received FAA approval to equip its Boeing 737-800 aircraft with Starlink internet service, marking a significant step in enhancing in-flight connectivity.

The ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown has not severely impacted airline operations, including United Airlines, despite some concerns over air traffic control staffing. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy noted a slight increase in sick calls among air traffic controllers, which could potentially lead to flight delays. Furthermore, the Essential Air Service program, which supports flights to small and rural communities, is at risk of losing funding if the shutdown continues.
