United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby says he wants to expand the airline’s footprint at John F. Kennedy International Airport, while preparing for how artificial intelligence will reshape the industry. Speaking to CNBC, the 59-year-old executive referenced his time at American Airlines—where he was fired 10 years ago—and contrasted it with United’s standing as the second-most profitable U.S. carrier after Delta Air Lines. Kirby said megamergers with Delta or American have been discussed but were rebuffed, and he’s not interested in acquiring a smaller airline. He also hinted United could pursue additional JFK slots as the carrier returns there through a partnership with JetBlue as early as next year.
