United Airlines is not backing down in its battle with American Airlines over dominance at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD).
Scott Kirby, the CEO of United, told investors on Wednesday that his airline has drawn a "line in the sand" over further expansion by American at the airport.
"We're not going to allow them to win a single gate at our expense in 2026," he said, referring to how the Chicago Department of Aviation allocates gates at ORD. "We're going to add as many flights as are required to make sure that we keep our gate count the same in Chicago. We're just going to stay focused."
