United Airlines expects enough Airbus A321XLR deliveries to back its European expansion next summer, aiming to add service to 10 new cities in Europe and Asia. The airline plans to start A321XLR international service on Dec. 1, 2026 from Washington Dulles to Amsterdam and Dublin, while phasing out 757s. It notes teething issues and Airbus delays, which have affected its A321neo Coastliner plans, but says European demand remains strong into autumn.
