United Airlines Trumpets Investment in Premium Cabin International Travel Experience

As part of its ongoing strategy to provide differentiated products and services to its customers, United Airlines today announced its initial investment in upgrading the

international first and business class travel experience for United´s customers.

United has selected B/E Aerospace, Inc., the world´s leading manufacturer of aircraft cabin interior products, to design and manufacture premium seats for a program initially valued at up to $165 million.

The carrier´s international premium customer offering will be introduced in phases, with enhancements slated to begin in 2007. Reconfiguration of United´s entire international wide-body fleet will span roughly two to three years.

United Airlines operates more than 3,400 flights a day on United, United Express and Ted to more than 200 U.S. domestic and international destinations from its hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago and Washington, D.C. With key global air rights in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and Latin America, United is one of the largest

international carriers based in the United States.
