Meanwhile, a few old domestic B763s have been reconfigured for transatlantic routes.

Either United don't think that UK/IE regional routes could sustain B763 operations, or they simply don't have enough aircraft to retain all of their transatlantic routes whilst ramping up their transcontinental service.

Once the B737 MAX 9 and MAX 10 are delivered, we could see the return of some of these routes.
