About United Airlines
United Airlines, Megawallpapers: United Airlines, the major subsidiary of UAL Corporation, is a major airline of the United States. It is headquartered in Elk Grove Village, Illinois near its largest hub at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. As of autumn 2005 it was the world's third-largest airline in terms of total passengers transported (behind American Airlines and Delta Air Lines), second-largest in terms of revenue-passenger-kilometers (behind American Airlines), and third-largest in terms of total operating revenues (behind Air France-KLM and American Airlines). It employs around 61,000 people and operates nearly 500 aircraft. On February 1, 2006 United emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, under which it had operated since December 9, 2002—the largest and longest airline bankruptcy case in history. UAL traces its claim to be the oldest commercial airline in the United States to the air mail service of Walter Varney. Varney's Chief Pilot, Leon D. "Lee" Cuddeback, flew the first Contract Air Mail flight in a Swallow biplane from Varney's headquarters in Boise, Idaho to the railroad mail hub of Pasco, Washington on April 6, 1926 and returned the following day with 200 pounds of mail. April 6th is reckoned in the United Airlines company history as both its own birthday and date on which "true" airline transport—operating on fixed routes and fixed schedules—began. Varney Airlines' original 1925 hangar served as a portion of the terminal building for the Boise Airport until 2003, when the structure was replaced. In 1927, airplane pioneer William Boeing founded his own airline, Boeing Air Transport, and soon began buying other airmail carriers, including Varney's. Within four years, Boeing's holdings would grow to include a number of airlines, airplane and parts manufacturing companies, and several airports. In 1929, the company changed its name to United Aircraft - Transport Corp. In 1930, as the capacity of airplanes proved sufficient to carry not o...
