United Airlines may announce the largest aircraft order ever

The biggest aircraft deal ever, as ranked by website Simple Flying in 2020, came in 2013, when Emirates announced an order for 150 Boeing 777X aircraft valued at $76 billion. In 2019, Emirates chose instead to take a mixture of 126 Boeing 777X aircraft and 30 Boeing 787s. List price for the revised order was about $50 million. Still a record, if the deal is ever executed.

Cowen & Co. analyst Helane Becker wrote Wednesday that the United investor meeting could include discussion of a potential aircraft order, as well as of earnings targets and a focus on coastal gateway hubs including Newark, where a media event is scheduled. Also Wednesday, United spokeswoman Leslie Scott said, “We do not currently have a deal in place with Boeing or Airbus to purchase new aircraft and do not comment on speculative aircraft orders.”
