United Signs Firm Order for 25 A350 XWB Aircraft

United on Wednesday signed a firm order for 25 Airbus A350 planes. The Chicago-based airline already signed an order for 25 Boeing 787 a few weeks ago. But it's a smart move to order both of those state-of-the art jets. The orders come after years of reluctance by United to order any new planes at all. Again, wise move to wait until these newer, lighter, better planes enter the market. Read Airbus's press release here.
