In addition to the aircraft presented in the table above, United owned the following regional aircraft as of December 31, 2019:

•Eight Embraer E175LLs, which were delivered but not yet in service; and
•Three Embraer ERJ145s, which are temporarily grounded.

Firm Order and Option Aircraft. As of December 31, 2019, United had firm commitments and options to purchase new aircraft from Boeing, Airbus and Embraer as presented in the table below:

Scheduled Aircraft Deliveries
Aircraft TypeNumber of Firm Commitments (a)2020After 2020
Airbus A321XLR50—50
Airbus A35045—45
Boeing 737 MAX17144127
Boeing 777-300ER22—
Boeing 78716151
Embraer E1752020—

(a) United also has options and purchase rights for additional aircraft.

The aircraft listed in the table above are scheduled for delivery through 2030. The Company expects to assign the purchase obligation for each of the 20 Embraer E175 aircraft to one of its regional partners at the time of such aircraft's delivery, subject to certain conditions. To the extent the Company and the aircraft manufacturers with which the Company has existing orders for new aircraft agree to modify the contracts governing those orders, the amount and timing of the Company's future capital commitments could change. United also has agreements to purchase 20 used Airbus A319 aircraft with expected delivery dates through 2022 and 19 used Boeing 737-700 aircraft with expected delivery dates through 2021.

The 44 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in the table above include 16 Boeing B737 MAX aircraft of which the Company planned to take delivery in 2019, and 28 aircraft of which the Company planned to take delivery of in 2020; however, following the FAA Order, Boeing suspended deliveries of new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The extent of the delay to the scheduled deliveries of new 737 MAX aircraft is expected to be impacted by the length of time the FAA Order remains in place, Boeing's production rate and the pace at which Boeing can deliver aircraft following the lifting of the FAA Order, among other factors. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate the number of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft of which it will take delivery in 2020.

See Notes 10 and 13 to the financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report for additional information.

Facilities. United leases gates, hangar sites, terminal buildings and other airport facilities in the municipalities it serves. United has major terminal facility leases at SFO, Washington Dulles, Chicago O'Hare, LAX, Denver, Newark, Houston Bush and Guam with expiration dates ranging from 2020 through 2053. Substantially all of these facilities are leased on a net-rental basis, resulting in the Company's responsibility for maintenance, insurance and other facility-related expenses and services.

United also maintains administrative, catering, cargo, training, maintenance and other facilities to support its operations in the cities it serves. In addition, United has multiple leases, which expire from 2020 through 2033, for its principal executive office and operations center in downtown Chicago and administrative offices in downtown Houston.
