Overheard in Washington: United at IAD edition

The Horizon hears United may finally announce an agreement with the local airports commission (MWAA) to replace the "temporary" C and D concourses at Washington Dulles (IAD), part of the airline's broader United Next initiative. This follows MWAA's October optimism about the project and United's recent adjustments to IAD routes, likely driven by Newark (EWR) runway construction and air traffic control changes. With EWR slot pressure mounting, IAD is positioned as a critical relief hub for United, including serving as a secondary East Coast international gateway.
