United Airlines (UA, Chicago O'Hare) Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Andrew Levy says the US legacy carrier's newly installed management team is considering revising its Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) and Boeing (BOE, Washington National) order books.

Excluding options and purchase rights, United has commitments for thirty-five A350-1000s from Airbus along with 172 B737 NextGen/MAXs, fourteen B777-300(ER)s, fourteen B787-10s, and five B787-9s from Boeing. Deliveries are scheduled to run through 2024.

As such, Levy told Bloomberg in an interview this week that among the changes being considered include converting an undisclosed number of the A350-1000s to smaller A350-900s or even A330s. Of the Boeings, the CFO said United is looking into the proposed B737 MAX 10X, a stretched variant of the B737 MAX 9 intended to compete with the A321neo.

Commenting on United's decision to convert sixty-five B737-700 orders into four B737-800s and sixty-one B737 MAX 8s, Levy said the move was motivated by the -700's small size and older technology.
