ANALYSIS: Could domestic widebodies make a comeback in the USA?
The announcement by United Airlines that it will bring back regular domestic widebody service in the coming years is the latest step in the on-going shift to larger gauge aircraft across the US industry.
The Chicago-based carrier plans to use 10 Boeing 777-200s, which will be refurbished for domestic service from their present international configuration, to consolidate frequencies between its seven domestic hubs and to Hawaii, said United chief financial officer John Rainey during an earnings call on 23 April. This will free up mainline narrowbodies to offset the departure of more than 130 50-seat regional jets by the end of this year and more as aircraft come off leases in the years to come.
