United Airlines'Airbus A350 order has turned into one of the more drawn-out and contested widebody commitments in recent aviation history. While the commitment was originally placed in 2009 for 25 aircraft as part of a long-haul fleet renewal strategy, United later upsized the order to 45 Airbus A350-900s. However, the deal has been pushed back and re-evaluated as United’s operational priorities shifted toward the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The legal deadlock with Rolls-Royce has since brought the deal to a standstill; United has officially removed the 45 aircraft from its future delivery schedules in its financial reports.
