United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby publicly confirmed in late April 2026 that he had approached American Airlines about a merger, which American immediately rejected as anti-competitive and harmful to consumers. American’s board and CEO Robert Isom stated the carrier had no interest in discussions, while bipartisan senators raised antitrust concerns over reduced competition and higher fares on overlapping routes. Kirby later indicated in May and early June that United sees no path to major consolidation without a willing partner and does not expect to pursue it in the foreseeable future. The 97% implied probability for no announcement in 2026 reflects American’s firm public stance, regulatory barriers to combining two of the largest U.S. carriers, and the absence of any subsequent developments. A shift would require unexpected changes such as new leadership at American, acute industry-wide financial distress, or altered enforcement priorities.

Mergers or acquisitions involving United Airlines, Inc. or its parent company, United Airlines Holdings, Inc., and American Airlines, Inc. or its parent company, American Airlines Group Inc., will qualify.
An announcement by American Airlines or United Airlines within this market's timeframe will qualify for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether or when the announced acquisition/merger actually occurs.
Announcements of partial sales may count, as long as the acquiring company acquires a controlling interest in the other company. A “controlling interest” refers to a change in ownership sufficient to control the company’s strategic decisions (typically more than 50% of equity, or equivalent control via voting and governance rights). Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest will not count.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from United Airlines and American Airlines; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
