United Airlines has closed commercial bank debt from KfW IPEX Bank and Commerzbank for a Boeing 787-9, the banks say.
The Chicago-based carrier has taken delivery of five 787-9s to date this year, of which all but one (registration N26966 and MSN 60143) have already been financed, the Flight Fleets Analyzer shows. That aircraft was delivered in June.
United is not scheduled to take any more 787s in 2016, the database shows.
