Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The expansion reinforces United's connectivity proposition, potentially boosting loyalty and ancillary usage. Positive sentiment comes without near-term revenue numbers, but near-term milestones (60 aircraft this year, ~1,000 by year-end) provide a tangible growth narrative that could lift expectations and sentiment.
