United Airlines was able to achieve a record number of passengers on its flights last year, amounting to 165 million passengers, and achieved $2.6 billion. The company relies mainly on the continued increase in demand for its services among travelers. And expand its popularity among other companies.
In an earlier earnings release, Kirby said:

Horrific Aviation Accidents Shake America and the Entire World
The number of aviation accidents has increased significantly in recent years, with variations in the circumstances of each accident. One flight witnessed the plane’s engine catching fire, and another witnessed a panel falling from the plane’s fuselage.
Recently, a tragic accident occurred that left the passengers in a miserable state, as the door of the Boeing plane suddenly blew off, sending air rushing into it with a supernatural force at an altitude of 5,000 meters.
As a result, 600 flights were canceled and the planes, all Boeing 373 MAX 9, were grounded. Which raised broader questions about the quality of the aircraft produced by the giant aircraft company, as Boeing is one of the world’s major aircraft manufacturers.
A few days ago, the Indonesian Ministry of Transport announced that it would open an investigation after two pilots belonging to the Malaysian airline, Batik Air, fell asleep during a recent flight, causing navigational errors. Because the plane deviated from the flight path.
Other incidents usually reveal some kind of negligence on the part of some airline companies or staff.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investigates flight-related accidents, and US government statistics have recently shown that aviation accidents and fatalities are still very rare on commercial flights.
