United Airlines continues to operate the Boeing 757 due to its versatility and lack of a direct replacement despite its age. With 61 aircraft in its fleet, United utilizes the 757 for domestic and transatlantic routes while anticipating replacement with the A321XLR and 737 MAX 10 in the coming years. A combination of operational efficiency, fleet synergy with the 767, and premium offerings sustains its profitability, though a transition to newer models is imminent.
