At any given moment, roughly 5,000 planes are in the skies above the United States. In one year, controllers handle an average of 64 million takeoffs and landings. For every one flight you see listed on an airport monitor, two you don't see show up on air traffic controllers' screens.
The A350 XWB and the 787 will serve two very different roles for United. The 787-8 that United has ordered will replace the aging fleet of 767's that United currently operates. The 767 is a workhorse plane for United, flying several international and domestic routes. The 787 will also replace some of the old 777-200 models that are not very efficient and lack the range of the 777-200ER. The 787-8 holds about 220 passengers in a 3-class layout, which is near identical to the 767's capacity.
