United defers delivery of A350s until late 2022 to 2027
United Airlines deferred (06-Sep-2017) deliveries of its A350 order until late 2022 to 2027, as it aligns delivery of aircraft to potential retirements. United said the A350-900 is a good replacement aircraft for its Boeing 777-200ER fleet, which will begin to reach 25 years of age by 2022. [more - original PR]
