United Has Best Operating Month in History

89% of Flights Arrive on Time
CHICAGO, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Airlines' (NYSE:
UAL
<http://alliance.marketwatch.com/custom/alliance/interactivechart.asp?sy
mb=UAL&astyle=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,10,0,0&c=179&urlpull=&logourl=&post=0> )
system operating performance for the month of September was the best the
company has recorded for any month in its 76-year history.
Last month's flights arriving within 14 minutes of schedule (the
yardstick
used by the U.S. Department of Transportation to calculate on-time
performance) averaged 89.22% which easily beat the company's 86.30%
record set
eight years ago in October 1994.
Three of the records United broke last month were set in May 2002:
-- United's September departure completion rate of 99.66% compared
to
May's 99.56%;
-- United's on-time departure :00 (flights leaving exactly on time)
performance of 79.63% was almost four percentage points higher
than
May's record of 75.71%;
-- And the company's key early morning departures at 87.89% for
September
beat May's record of 85.29%.
"Our employees have done a phenomenal job of running the best
operation in
United's history," said Pete McDonald, senior vice president-Airport
Operations.
"When you realize that canceled flights cost the company about
$7,000
apiece and each delay minute costs the company about $43, an excellent
operation means great service for our customers and cost savings to
United as
well."
United operates 1,900 scheduled flights daily on a route network
that
spans the globe. For more information on United, go to
