09:05 AM EDT, 09/01/2026 (MT Newswires) -- United Airlines (UAL) said Tuesday it has launched a new feature for its mobile app that allows customers rebooked for a later flight due to a travel disruption to stand by for up to three earlier flights. The system then automatically monitors availability for those flights and sends a text notification when a seat becomes available, according to the company. The feature is rolling out in time for the upcoming Labor Day weekend, United Airlines said. United shares were down 2.1% in Tuesday premarket activity.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its forecast for average Brent crude oil prices in 2026 and 2027 to $97 and $86, respectively, reflecting pressures from global inventory declines, Middle East supply disruptions, and rising transportation costs. As oil production in the Middle East gradually recovers and global inventories rebound from low levels, the EIA expects the average spot price of Brent crude to fall to $87 per barrel in the second quarter of 2027, and further decline to $77 per barrel by the fourth quarter.
