The Wall Street Journal, which reported the plan earlier, said United was close to ordering dozens of 787 Dreamliners.
In October, Bloomberg News said United was nearing an order for more than 100 widebody jets and was evaluating offers from Boeing and for Airbus.
As of the end of September, United had 64 787 Dreamliners, and is expected to close the year with 68.
