Kennedy International Airport, or JFK, in New York, CNBC reported Sunday, citing United Chief Executive Scott Kirby. The air carrier is set to return to JFK through a partnership with JetBlue Airways (JBLU) as early as 2027, according to the report. United could purchase slots from other carriers at the airport, among other expansion initiatives, Kirby reportedly told CNBC. The company is also slated to announce new international routes, with Kirby indicating interest in further growth in Southeast US and South America, according to the report. United didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. The company's shares were up 1.1% in premarket activity Monday.

Nvidia continues to plummet, losing $430 billion in market value over two days, with Microsoft temporarily reclaiming the world's second place.

On Tuesday, Nvidia closed down 5.5%, a decline significantly greater than other major tech stocks, making it a key factor dragging down the tech sector's performance. During intraday trading on Tuesday, Microsoft's market capitalization briefly surpassed Nvidia, making it the world's second largest publicly traded company by market value. However, after Anthropic released its office suite, Microsoft's losses widened, causing it to fall behind Nvidia once again.
