3 prediction markets price this story:

• Above 186 million — the market puts it at 83%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if United Airlines reports more than 186 million passengers flown in 2026. It resolves to No if the number is 186 million or fewer. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it depends on a specific date rather than the full year's total.
• Above 50 million — resolved “No” on 21 Oct 2026.
• United Airlines — the market puts it at 16%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if United Airlines moves its headquarters to Denver or announces that move before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked story about status matches for a relocation announcement.
