The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on October 2, 2024, that it would end its enhanced oversight of United Airlines.
This measure was introduced six months ago due to a series of incidents. After completing the review as part of the Certificate Holder Evaluation Program, the FAA determined that there were no significant safety issues. United Airlines can now add new aircraft and services again.
The increased scrutiny was initiated in March 2024 after several safety incidents, which resulted in no injuries or deaths, raised concerns. The FAA wanted to ensure that the airline complied with applicable safety regulations.
