In 2013, after pressure from PETA, United announced that it would no longer transport monkeys to laboratories. United was the last North American passenger airline to transport these animals to laboratories.[161][162] United flies more animals and has longer flight stage length than any other US airline, and accounted for one third of animal deaths of US airlines between 2012 and 2017.[163]
In February 2021, United Airlines was fined $49 million by the United States Department of Justice on charges of fraud on postal service contracts for transportation of international mail. According to investigators, between 2012 and 2015 United submitted delivery scan data to make it appear that United and its partner airlines complied with International Commercial Air requirements with accurate delivery times when in fact they were automated delivery scans with aspirational delivery time. Some employees within United worked to hide this fact from the United States Postal Service.[176][177][178]

I splurge on some flights, but I'm also a big fan of using points and miles and finding flight deals. Typically, I'll fly 50 to 60 long-haul flights a year on various airlines to try out new routes and airline products and to visit new places.

"We're building a bright future at United, and this order takes our already successful United Next plan into the next decade and beyond," said Scott Kirby, United CEO. "Our planning and focus on the long term have helped us surge past other airlines that stood still. I'm convinced our strategy is the right one as we continue to add new, larger aircraft to take full advantage of our growing flying opportunities both internationally and domestically."
United Airlines (UA), headquartered in Chicago, is one of the world's oldest airlines. The carrier was founded in 1926. It flies to more than 300 destinations in 60 countries spanning North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. About one-third of its destinations are US domestic. Major hubs in the network include Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Denver International (DEN), Guam (GUM), Houston George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), Los Angeles International (LAX), Newark Liberty International (EWR), San Francisco International (SFO), and Washington Dulles (IAD). United Airlines is a founding member of the Star Alliance. Star Alliance is a collection of more than 25 airlines that provide airline service to more than 190 countries. United also has codeshare agreements with 13 other carriers. United Airlines flies with a fleet of over 700 aircraft including versions from Airbus, ATR, Boeing, Bombardier, and Embraer.
We are deeply concerned by the recent incident aboard Flight 3411 in which a United Airlines passenger was forcibly removed from a flight from Chicago, Illinois to Louisville, Kentucky to instead accommodate United Airlines personnel. The Transportation Security Administration and United Airlines cleared the passenger to fly, and he trusted that he would travel on that flight in exchange for the purchase of his ticket. While it is common practice for commercial airlines to sell more tickets than there are physical seats on an aircraft to account for potential "no-show" passengers, overselling tickets can have severe consequences for the travelling public.
CAPA Profiles help you identify new business opportunities and make better business decisions, by providing accurate and up-to-date data on airports, airlines, suppliers, investors, MROs, lessors and countries/territories around the world. Each profile offers comprehensive news and analysis, as well as the ability to drill down into data on schedules, capacity share, fleet, traffic, financial results and more.
The Department of Transportation measures airline on-time performance and undoubtedly United, like other airlines, watches this all the time. They also, again like other airlines, pad their flights with extra time to help look better on this metric. Does this mean they will re-think every aspect of the aircraft turn at the gate, or maybe even revise maintenance procedures to ensure better operations? There are many reasons that airlines don't operate reliably, and while much of this is controllable, some of it is not. United has regularly performed as a middle-of-the-pack airline, so does this plan say they will spend more money, reduce utilization, and use more people to perform better, or excellently?
There are two challenges with NPS and airlines. One is that NPS has no historical correlation with airline earnings. Airlines with lower NPS scores do not necessarily perform less well financially. The second challenge with airlines is that NPS scores vary wildly with operational reliability. When the flight is on-time, the NPS scores tend to be high but when the flight is late, even on a generally well-regarded airline, the NPS scores suffer. Often what distinguishes a reliable airline from an unreliable one is what happens when things go wrong. Using NPS as the primary gauge of customer service ignores many things that customers care about, including attention from flight attendants, shorter airport lines, better tasting food, not paying for a checked bag, and many more.
