UAL said the loan package was obtained from J. P. Morgan Chase & Company and Citigroup. The two banks will each underwrite $200 million of the nonguaranteed portion of the loan and $800 million of the guaranteed portion. The airline, which filed for bankruptcy protection about a year ago, said the package required a guarantee from the federal Air Transportation Stabilization Board. The company said it planned to update its previous proposal to the agency soon. The air board, created after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, rejected United's initial request last year for backing of most of a $2 billion loan. United sought protection from its creditors after the board's decision. Since then, the airline has sharply reduced operating costs by renegotiating union contracts, aircraft leases and deals with suppliers, among other actions. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/17/business/17ual.html?ex=1072670774&ei=1&en=8e2f08a8ec113f79 --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
