When discussing competition among premium airlines, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has expressed his view that there is space for only two such carriers operating in the United States. In Kirby's opinion, American Airlines is not considered one of them.
Kirby's perspective has drawn a response from American Airlines' CEO, as both leaders engage in a debate about the positions of their respective companies in the premium airline market.
Kirby's assertion highlights the competitive nature of the industry, with each airline seeking to establish its own market position in terms of premium services.
