War's Over; United's Back

Restoring 162 Flights Next Month

United Airlines will restore 162 flights to its June schedule, which includes increased service to many domestic, European and Pacific destinations that was previously reduced due to a drop in demand during the Iraq war. As a result, United will operate 1,722 daily domestic and international departures in June, compared with 1,560 per day in May 2003.

"We are delighted to offer our customers a wider variety of more convenient travel options by restoring 162 flights to United's schedule," said Marty St. George, Director-Network Planning. "As we prepare for the summer travel season, we have been encouraged by the upturn in bookings that indicate a strong recovery in many of the markets we serve."

Some 1527 flight attendants, currently on unpaid leave, are also coming back, to take care of the added PAX. Just 300 will remain on unpaid leave; 5270 are still on furlough.

The increase of flights in June has necessitated many changes to flight numbers and departure times, which will affect more than one million customer bookings. As a result, United will be notifying affected customers through Reservations employees, through calls from the company's new automated schedule change notification system or through travel agents.
