Former FAA Administrator Takes United Post
UAL Corporation, the holding company whose primary subsidiary
is United Airlines, announced Thursday that Jane F. Garvey, former
administrator of the FAA, is joining the UAL Board of Directors
effective September 23.
Garvey is the chairman of Meridiam Investment Fund NA. She also
serves on the Bi-Partisan Policy Project, which is examining the
future of transportation policy in the United States. She most
recently served on the transition team for President Barack Obama,
focusing on transportation policies and related infrastructure
challenges. Prior to that, she headed the U.S. Public/Private
Partnerships at JPMorgan, where she advised states on financing
strategies to facilitate project delivery for state
governments.
"We are pleased to welcome a leader of Jane Garvey's caliber to
our board," said UAL Chairman, President and CEO Glenn Tilton. "She
has intimate knowledge of, and direct experience addressing, many
of the key challenges that have faced our industry over the past
decade. We couldn't ask Jane to join us at a more opportune time,
as we enter our multi-day, long-term strategic board session - an
annual session that we ask of our board every September."
Appointed by President Clinton in 1997, Garvey is the first FAA
administrator to serve a five-year term, and the first woman
appointed to that role. She has received the National Air
Transportation Association's Distinguished Service Award and the
National Council of Public-Private Partnerships Leadership Award,
among others.

Garvey also served as acting administrator and deputy
administrator for the Federal Highway Administration and was
director of Boston's Logan International Airport.
"I look forward to working with the United Board and the
company's management team to assist in navigating the myriad
challenges still facing this industry," Garvey said. "It's my honor
to be part of the team that recognizes those challenges and
continues to do the hard work to improve the business."
