## Resource

United Airlines is gearing up for a summer travel frenzy, expecting over six million passengers globally between June 26 and July 6—with Houston’s airport alone handling nearly 550,000 daily travelers. Behind the scenes, they’re showcasing their cutting-edge “Virtual Ramp Tower,” the brain behind ground operations and safety. A recent mechanical issue forced a Houston-to-Munich flight back to the gate—but everyone landed safely, underscoring their relentless focus on security. And looking ahead, a brand-new virtual ramp tower is slated for 2027 to keep things smoother, smarter, and safer. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
