United Continental Holdings Inc., the only U.S. carrier with Boeing Co.’s 787 Dreamliner, expects to resume service earlier than planned with a May 31 flight between Houston-Denver route.
The previous goal was to restart that service with a 787 on June 5, pending U.S. regulators’ approval of Boeing’s proposed upgrades to the jet’s lithium-ion batteries, said Christen David, a spokeswoman for Chicago-based United.
