United Airlines has been cleared by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to restart its certification activities, including the addition of new aircraft and routes. This development follows a series of safety issues that led to an operational freeze imposed by the FAA. The FAA's Certificate Management Office has allowed United Airlines to resume growth after a thorough review of its operation and safety processes. United Airlines communicated this update to its staff on Wednesday, signaling a significant step forward for the carrier. The airline announced on Thursday that it has regained some privileges that were suspended after problem flights.
