was surprised to find Orlando already had more United flights than BOS

https://simpleflying.com/united-airl...est-hubs-2026/

1 ORD 250k annual flights
2 DEN 194k
3 IAH 176k
4 EWR 141k
5 SFO 104k
6 IAD 95k
7 LAX 41k
8 LAS 16k
9 MCO 15k
10 BOS 14k

ranking by seats MCO moves into 8th place
Is this a.net? LOL

UA has the 2nd best Latin American hub in IAH after MIA (and #1 to GIG and several Mexican destinations). MCO and FLL are low yield areas that UA does not want (or need). There are a few Eastern Caribbean destinations that become a challange for higher yield traffic via IAH, but IAD can handle it. No need to sink money (or planes they don't have) into Florida.
