Bloomberg: United Airlines targeting major expansion at LAX
Jan. 27, 2017 5:44 PM ET|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor
United Continental (NYSE:UAL) is targeting a major expansion at Los Angeles International Airport in an effort to reverse a slide that has left it behind its biggest rivals at the West Coast hub, Bloomberg reports.
UAL President Scott Kirby told pilots this month that the company needs more space and is studying plans to claim most or all of a future terminal, according to the report.
United, once the leader at LAX, has dropped to third place behind American (NASDAQ:AAL) and Delta (NYSE
AL), which have been building international gateways in Los Angeles to compete with UAL’s lucrative hub in San Francisco.

Could start immediately by sh1t canning all the RJs and putting mainline jets at the gates. 320/guppy is an immediate 3x increase over an RJ per slot/gate.
Waited the other day for over an hour and it was all because of the RJ clown show in the lane. Ramp controller sounded like he was about to open the window and start shooting at them.
