About United Airlines

United is connecting people, uniting the world. United has the most comprehensive route network among North American carriers; A modern fleet which is the most fuel-efficient among U.S. network carriers (when adjusted for cabin size); Industry-leading loyalty program that provides more opportunities to earn and redeem miles worldwide; Optimal hub locations, including hubs in the four largest cities in the United States; and Approximately 70,000 employees reside in every U.S. state and in countries around the world. As a global airline in the business of bringing people together, we are more committed than ever to creating a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace and world where we all thrive. We’re dedicated to growing our inclusive culture from the inside out. Our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) commitment is focused on our four pillars: culture, representation, equity and brand. As we look ahead, our DEI commitments are core to the way we do business. Every Action Counts is our pledge to put our people and our planes to work for the greater good. From leading employee volunteer events to helping with relief efforts around the wor...ld, we’re there for the communities where we live, work and fly. Together, we can protect the environment, promote inclusion, give aid to communities in need and inspire the leaders of tomorrow. We believe the airline industry needs to be bolder when it comes to making decisions that confront the climate crisis. That's why we've committed to become 100% green and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions 100% by 2050 by taking the harder, better path of reducing emissions from flying, rather than relying on traditional carbon offsets. United continues to lead the industry in investing and identifying ways to decarbonize aviation. In fact, in 2021, United was recognized as Air Transport World’s Eco-Airline of Year for the industry-leading steps we have taken to decarbonize air travel. The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) named United as the only airline globally to its 2020 Climate 'A List' for the airline's actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and develop the low-carbon economy, marking the seventh consecutive year that United had the highest CDP score among U.S. airlines.
